LHe Kona slot placement

[Wayne Wright]

Thanks Gary

I’ve had some brief success monitoring some other DVCAM clips (another project) when imported into Soundtrack Pro (or sent as a .stap)which have played through Kona outputs, when the relevant AJA option is selected under video tab in Soundtrack Pro Prefs. However after switching this to ‘none’ and then reselecting the AJA option cannot view video via PAL monitor and can no longer monitor audio via Kona output.

The media I’m currently working on has some audio background noise which I want to remove but cannot monitor output via Kona for some reason. Although these are Quicktime files could it be that the sound format is not native Mac sound? This was originally Betacam footage. Media was digitized in 10bit uncompressed by a third party (also an FCP user), supplied on disk. The music tracks supplied were .mp3’s so these had to be rendered in FCP. [Should have converted these 1st, I know]. I’m confused.
Not even the STP sound loop samples play via Kona.

Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks Wayne

trash the Prefs and then reselect the V- Out option. Then restart the app again,
Needless to say when audio follows video and there is no video out there will be no audio.

Wayne- I have never had any issues, it has always just worked. = are you mixing video formats? (NTSC on a PAL display?)

If it was working and now it is not- you did something to your configuration to cause the issue. you have to track down what you did.

Reinstall the AJA Driver.
Install the Firmware that comes with the driver.
trash the STP prefs
re-set the application Prefs
relaunch the STP with the new settings – all should work.

Followed steps except that there is no Firmware updater in utilities folder with 6.0.2 download.
My original disk is Version 2.0.1
Dont recall if I ran the Firmware updater on that first install.
But Kona only worked when I did the 1st 6.0.2 install.
Perhaps I should do an uninstall. Run 2.0.1 again. Run the firmware. Reinstall 6.0.2 and then 6.0.3 which I see is now available at AJA.

That helped with the all other media (DVCAM and some HDV stuff). Audio followed video in Soundtrack fine. It’s just the digitized Betacam media that’s not happy. Waveform is there. Levels start initially then fade to nothing for some reason. No audible sound with this media.

Thanks Wayne
