Kona and FCP conflict out of nowhere
Yesterday, I was having problems outputting a 720p59.94 sequence to a tape, something I have done countless times in the last year. I was dropping frames like crazy and tried anything I could think of to get it to work. I ended up exporting the sequence into a quicktime at full resolution, importing said quicktime and laying that to tape. It worked fine.
Then I decided to run the “background array conditioning” in the RAID Admin (where it told me I could only run the process on one half of the array, as one side was “degraded or offline” (this may be problem number one). This took all night. This morning I come in and try to Edit to tape and the first thing I notice is that my edit to tape window is showing nothing but GREEN, same for log and capture. I have deck control, but can’t see anything.
Now, nothing works. I can’t even play anything back at all now. Is my card fried? Is my RAID toast? any advice at all would be most welcome.
I’m running FCP 4.5, Kona 2 card, 10.3.9 on a G5 Dual 2.0 Ghz, recording to D5. This is a system that has been working great for about a year, minus a hiccup here and there.
I’m posting this to the FCP thread as well.

very simple – download AJA Kona System Test, and run this on your drive array. It will tell you in a few seconds if your drive array is working.

Awesome. Thank you so much. I’m running the Drive Conditioning thing right now on the other array. I can’t stop it (as far as I can tell) so I’m going to run the system test once it’s done.
Thanks again.
