Dropping frames on 444 capture.
Hello. I’m trying to capture 1080 444 footage from HDCAM SR tapes to a 250mb/s RAID using a Kona 3 and the latest version of Final Cut. I’ve done it successfully many times, but lately, every time I try and capture I either get dropped frames or broken timecode when there is none. (I know there isn’t broken timecode because I’ve captured the same tape before.) The RAID seems to be performing fine, according to the Kona system test. I’ve tried multiple reboots, trashing prefs, but none of that helps. Does anyone have a clue as to what’s happening? Thanks in advance.

There’s a file you need to get from AJA that cures this issue. See this post for the file to ask for: https://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/8/956802

You need to download the Kona driver version 5 and use QT 7.3.1.
However FCP is compressing the black gamma area of 10 bit RGB 444 clips in your project, so now the clips will play but they suck in the blacks.

if you are capturing 10bit 24p your raid is just fast enough IMHO, and if it has less than 6 drives your captures may result in this kind of issue.
