  • Lhi – no audio out or ref in

    Posted by David Dubois on March 1, 2010 at 1:06 pm

    Hi all

    I’ve just had a tech install an airport card in my macpro and at the same move my Lhi from a slot 4 to slot 2 (on advice from another tech guy about bus speeds).

    Since the card has been moved I’ve had no audio from the Kona or reference into it. I’ve installed the latest drivers again and have checked all of the connections.

    I’ve even tried moving the Lhi back to the original slot but no joy.

    Has anyone got any ideas on what’s going on?

    Cheers

    Dave

    since you don’t mention any specs about anything it is hard to answer.

    Have you set the Kona Control Panel to the audio source you are working with?
    the default would be HDSDI for audio and video,so how are you connected.

    Changing the slot the card is in would change the config on the card back to the factory defaults.

    HI Gary

    Sorry about lack of specs.

    Macpro 2×2.66 Quad core xeon
    10GB RAM
    OSX 10.5.8

    FCP 7.0.1
    Lhi (7.5 driver)

    …I think that’s everything you’ll need, if not just ask.

    I’ve been through the Lhi control panel but the only audio output options I can see are in the ‘setup’ menu and are ‘Lock audio gain to utility’ (which is ticked) and then ‘analog audio monitor level’ (which is set to -18dbu FSD’.

    Thanks
    Dave

    Well whodathunk it…

    AJA support suggested I’d connected the umbilical cable on upside down and low and behold I had.
    I didn’t think you could connect cables on upside down these days without bending pins but you can.

    The strange thing was that even with the connector on upside down I got a perfect video output. Bizarre!

    For reference, incase anyone else has this issue, the cable connector has ‘AJA’ printed on the topside.

    More haste, less speed.

    Isn’t it nice to get someone on the phone?
