Kona 1.2 and Closed Captioning
We are working on digitally archiving our shows that have been closed captioned. We would like to re-ingest from the closed captioned digibeta masters and and create a DVCPro50 file that retains the closed captioning. We would like to have the ability to re-edit that re-ingested DVCPro50 material, as need be, and keep the Closed Captioning intact, realizing of course that this will require judiciously choosing where the edits will be placed etc.
So we are trying to make this new feature of Kona 1.2 work:

Why not go into a consumer monitor and turn the closed captioning on and look at it that way? If it is on line 21 of the vitc code then remember a regular old TV set is designed to decode that.

We have a very expensive Sony Monitor which decodes closed captions quite nicely, but the Kona isn’t passing the closed captioning out while we are editing off an FCP timeline. The Closed captioning can only be seen via a firewire connection. Our problem is not with the monitor. It is with the fact that we cannot see closed captioning via the Kona SDI will editing, and it seems like we should be able to do this.

I agree, you should be able to see it because if it is on line 21 of the vitc then the kona should be sending it and the monitor should see it.
It seems strange because I have seen captions on my second, cheapo SONY home TV reference thing, but that is via the component ouputs.
Maybe you can send a little e-mail to AJA support on this.
