KONA LS to External Monitor: no signal
Hello…
If someone could help me, it would be wonderful!
I have a G5, FCP Studio 2, and I’ve just put in a KONA LS card (PCI-X) & installed the ver 4 package (released for FCP Studio 2). I connected the KONA LS breakout cables to my SONY PVM 1354Q monitor. (I attached the three OUT r-g-b component connectors from the LS card to the IN r-g-b component connectors of the external monitor.) My goal is to output the video both from FCP and COLOR to the external monitor. I selected “component” on the monitor.
The footage I’m editing in my timeline (29.97) was captured from a DVX100A camera at the 24p setting (before I bought the LS card). Naturally, it’s NTSC DV.
My problem is I cannot get any video signal to the external monitor.
I think my problem (besides being an idiot) is that I have not made the correct settings in FCP or COLOR. Please help me.
What should I set in FCP: In the SEQUENCE SETTING (NTSC DV or AJA 8-bit or etc.), Audio/Video Setting (NTSC DV or AJA 8-bit or etc.), in PLAYBACK SETTING (NTSC DV or AJA 8-bit or etc.), in the CONTROL DEVICE (NTSC DV or AJA 8-bit or etc.)…etc…etc.
When I go to COLOR, now the KONA settings appear in the VIDEO OUTPUT section but ONLY settings with 720 X 486 size, not 720 X 480.
Please help this idiot!

For FCP playback, simply select an AJA Kona Easy Setup that matches what you are doing. That will automatically re-set your Kona board for proper video playback.
As for Color, it may only give you the 720/486 playback option but that should still work, though maybe not in realtime.

Thanks for replying. But I still cannot get video out.
I tried the EASY SETUP in the following setting: AJA KONA-LS 8-bit to DV. Still no luck. When I look at FCP>VIEW>VIDEO PLAYBACK…I notice that it says AJA KONA-LS 8-bit 720 X 486, not 720 X 480. Actually there are not AJA settings at 720 X 480. Should that be like that?
I then tried all the other AJA EASY SETUP Settings, again with no luck.

Is there a way to “reset” the LS card or check to see if it has, in fact, been updated?

the driver does not update the card.
set the card to output bars from the kona control panel, do you see bars on your monitor.
are you sure that your monitor is HDSDI? what monitor are you using>

Why did you select that Easy Setup???
Also, perhaps you are not aware, but changing the Easy Setup after you put media on the timeline does not change the sequence settings for the timeline.
Try this:
1)Select the DV NTSC 48 khz Easy Setup.
2) Select VIEW — VIDEO PLAYBACK — AJA Kona 525i29.97 8-bit (720×486)
3) Open a new sequence and drop some media on the timeline.
4) Hit play and see what happens on your monitor…David Roth Weiss
