Kona 2 – ProRes plays fine in 8 bit, but not 10 bit – WHY?
I have just installed Final Cut Studio 2 and the new Kona 4.0 drivers. When I load a Pro-Res (HQ) clip (1080i) into a Pro-Res (HQ) timeline (1080i) and play the video out via the Kona 2 using the 8bit 1080i setting it plays fine (smooth without issue), but when I change the setting to the 10 bit 1080i setting and try to play back – FCP stop and says that it’s dropped to many frames (In 10 bit mode it nearly comes to a halt). If I don’t use the kona output it plays fine on the computer monitor.
So it plays fine without the kona output, and with the output set at 8bits, but doesn’t play when set for 10bits. Is this a kona/FCP bug, or is something changing between settings that would cause this?
Thanks,

Is the Kona 2 speced to handle 10 bit accelerated playback of Pro-Res ? Thats a lot heavier of a load than 8 bit.
