Hardware card needed for DVC PRO HD?
I had 5 hours of HD footage captured today by an editor, (Kone Le card) brought it home and my Final cut cant read it, nor can Quicktime. I dont have a Kona card.
QT sends me to the plugins page and final cut says I dont have the corresponding hardware card.
info says the file is DVCPROHD 1080i60 Integer (Big Endian) Timecode..
Now I am really confused. I thought final cut liked DVCPROHD. I just want to see the footage.
Please advise.

Final Cut Pro LOVES DVCPRO HD….if captured via firewire. Which is what SHOULD have been done. Why it was captured via the Kona is beyond me. No reason to do this.
If you go to the AJA site and head to the SUPPORT section, they should have the installers for the Kona Cards. Install those, restart the computer and you should be good to go.

Negative, I tried the kona download. And I am pretty sure that previous posters recommended that exact Kona setup.

Because the Kona does some “rounding” of the codec which smooths the compression artifacts. This is especially helpful when color correcting. We stopped bringing in our footage via Firewire about 4 months ago and now capture to the DVCPro HD codec via the Konas.
As for working on another machine though, it should should up normally as DVCPro HD. Ensure you’re running FCP 5.1 or higher.

Does any DVCPROHD footage play on your computer? if you are working with FCP what version are you at.
the Kona does not use anything for it’s capture of DVCPROHD that is not part the FCP version it is working with.

AH…didn’t know that.
You shoulda told me this earlier. All my tapes have been captured. I’ll wager this is why you don’t have an audio offset of a couple frames like I do.
