HD, Kona II, FCP 5, Tiger, Timecode and Audio Sync Issues
Look’n for anyone with a similar problem or setup that has a fix, suggestion, or similar tale to tell. I’m running Final Cut Po 5 on Tigger.1 with a Kona II card (v 1.1.1) and QT 7.0 0. From a Sony HDW-500F, capturing 23.98fps 1080 HD w/embedded audio via SDI and compressing w/DVCPro HD to an XRAID. Looks GREAT, but the timecode is out of sync between the clips and tape by as much as 5 frames (clip ahead of tape) and audio is out of sync by 2 frames (ahead of picture). I’m comparing a TC window burn on the HD output to the cooresponding clips TC data field. When you’re in Log and Capture the TCs match, but the resulting digitized clip TC does not match w/the window burn on the incoming picture. Does not matter if I batch capture or not. THEN, if I adjust the “Capture Offset” in the Machine Control Preset, it affects audio sync correctly (good), but the disparity between the actual tape TC/Picture and clip TC remains unaffected (bad). Talked with AJA and they say there’s an issue with FCP5 and there Kona II drivers (they’re working to fix it). Any suggestions or system configs using Panther, Kona II and FCP 4.5 that would be super stable for this HD setup? I need this working right now and I’m not in the mood to do any more beta testing of Apple software. I’ve followed the rabbit down the hole too far already. THANKS, Dan
