No firewire output on Kona LS

I’m pretty sure you can as I do this with the Kona 2. Use the DV Easy Setup and then change your Audio / Video Playback to the Kona card.

As for the Firewire port, do you have any other video sources other than the deck attached to it? I don’t have any problems here with the Firewire outputs and my Kona 2.

Thanks Walter. I am having the same problem with my other FCP (5.0.2) system which is DV only. The fire wire ports work because my fire wire drive is running fine on the same ports. The camera i’m running into it works on my laptop and video comes out fine. Is this a tiger/fcp 5 glitch? should i consider getting a new firewire pci card?

Yes, you can, but you have to choose to monitor the Kona or your DV deck. If you use the FCP DV easy set up your firewire ports should be active with the FCP dv signal, if you choose to monitor using the Kona 8 bit to dv easy set up, your kona card will be active and you can monitor that way.

If you have recently upgraded to Tiger and did not do a clean install, check this article:

This might be your problem as well.
