offline capture of HD24p from JH3 deck into FCP

[Walter Biscardi]

Simply connect via HD-SDI to the Kona 2 and choose what format you want to digitize to. The Kona does downconverts so you can set it to capture HD to DV or DV50 or DVCPro HD, etc…..

Hello There…

I have a problem ,. I cannot digitize form HD-SDI to DVCPRO HD codec… the FCP app crashes out…
works perfect capturing to DVCPRO, DVCPRO 50 or Uncompressed.. (I’m digitising from 1080i50)

while I’m finding a solution to this problem.. I would like to advance in my project doing a offline…

Can I digitise to an offline RT codec?
will maintain the 16:9 and size ratio?

or

Can I do the offline with a DV codec (or DVCPRO50)?
again, what will happen with the sizes/aspect when finally I will do the online at DVCPRO HD 50?

thanks and Cheers!

[Gary Adcock]

How can we help without any info on your config?

Ram, Machine, system version, drivers, cards etc?

if it cannot capture to DVCPROHD has it ever been able to?

WHAT FORMAT?

Hello and thanks for the response I’m a little bit desesperated because i’m running short of time..

the system is brand new….
all the stuff is flaged at 25fps

I can digitize via firewire 720p60 at 60fs
I can digitize via kona2 720p60 and 25pfps

setting the 1200 deck to 1080i50 HD-SDI out
I can digitize via HD-SDI (kona2) from 1080i50 to ANY codec but dvcprohd50

here is the config and the crashlog if it helps or gives any ligth…

What easy setup are you using in FCP?

what Kona driver version ( kona control panel > info tab)
Which OS version? ( apple menu > about this mac)

the crash log is only helpful with a couple of answers –
note there is not a reference to anything but apple.

[rostolls] “setting the 1200 deck to 1080i50 HD-SDI out

This is a down-convert. DV50 is SD only.
there is no DVCPROHD50

in HD the frame rate is 25 frame Not 50 fields

if you are trying to work in SD you need to set the downconverter in the K2 control panel to get an SD signal

everything in your note is HD not SD- but the compression you are referring to is SD only

Sorry sorry sorry

it was a mistach while I was writing…
and also my english, it’s very poor! (I’m speak Catalan so we construct sentences backwards!)

sorry I meant capture to DVCPROHD (100) …
anyway downconvert to any other codec works.

I have received response from the AJA tech support and it’s a driver problem
It will be solved in the next driver release (1.1.4) together with analog audio delay

thank U anyway!

[rostolls] “it was a mistach while I was writing…

Not a problem, even some of us on this side of the pond cannot construct
proper sentences, ( I for one stumble often on this)

Glad we could help.

yes!

with the 1.1.4 beta drivers works perfectly…

if fact if you read the release notes of the 1.1.4 driver “now capture to DVCPROHD 1080i50 is supported”

so simply what I was trying was not supported by the driver….

We are glad it is working!

If your going to IBC stop by and introduce yourself at the AJA booth.
