FCP7 capturing through KONA Lhe

[Joey Orr]

I recently took an LHe out of my old G5 running FCP suite 2 and installed it in a brand new system with no problem – see my signature below. Not a great deal of help I know but it proves LHe does work with FCP7!

What is your system configuration?
Have you installed the latest drivers for the card?
Have you tried trashing prefs?
How exactly did you do the upgrade?
Have you tried opening the capture window with no deck connected?
What flavour of Beta deck are you using?
Are you controlling the deck via a Fire wire or RS422 lead?

I guess we need a little more info about your setup…

Thanks Scarab,
I had downloaded the latest driver for the card and it was working for my display and for output to deck but when I tried digitizing i got kernel panic every time. I uninstalled and reinstalled the KONA driver trashed some preference files and changed a few configurations and got it to work. I´m not sure what did it but its working now. 😉
… just had to remap my keyboard settings after trashing the prefs.
All the best,
Anna
