Kona LHe “There is no video”

Posted by Arden Hamrick on June 28, 2010 at 8:43 pm

I’m having a problem capturing running footage from a BetaSP through my Kona LHe.

I’ve checked all the connections, and the monitor hooked to the VTR displays the video flawlessly.

FCP recognizes the VTR and I can control it with the log and capture panel.

My settings are the same I’ve always used to capture running footage:

Device Control: AJA Kona LH: 29.97 Sony VTR A
Capture/Input: AJA Kona LH: 525 29.97 DVCpro50

Here is the problem, I can see a time code, but I am not getting video.

All drivers are current, and I’m using FCP 6.0.6

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have commercials I need to get out!

Thanks,

Arden

How are you connected to the deck? Composite or component? Did you choose analog input in the kona control panel? This cannot be done from within final cut- you must configure inputs in the Aja control panel in the Applications folder.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I just needed to set it to analog, and I’m connected through composite.

Problem solved, thanks so much.

Hi Gary,

Can you help me please! I have a project in FCP 7.0 with AJA KONA LHe but i don’t have Video Monitor Output. What will be the correct settings in AJA Control Panel? I’m editing in NTSC DV only. Thanks

[Neri Perdigon] “AJA KONA LHe but i don’t have Video Monitor Output. “

you should be using the correct Setup in FCP first

it should say –
AJA KONA LHE- NTSC 8 Bit to DV and make sure that you go to View > External Video> Show all frames

and you should be able to see your video out.

Thanks Gary,

What do you mean by settings in FCP? Is it the audio and video settings video playback or the sequence preset? Because there is no AJA KONA LHE- NTSC 8 Bit to DV in video playback or sequence preset.

You need to use the FCP EASY SETUP with the settings I mentioned.

if they are not available to you the drivers are not properly installed
