    Posted by Greg Jones on November 2, 2005 at 8:21 pm

    I’m having a problem getting a signal in FCP from the AJA io. I’m seeing an image coming from all the outputs, but I’m getting a ‘Preview Disabled’ from FCP. Any suggestions. The source is a DVD player.

    are you sure you chose S-Video input in the Audio/Video Settings/Capture Presets ?

    for sanity reasons, simply close FCP, and go into the AJA I/O control panel, and select the S-Video input, to make sure that the I/O is doing it’s thing, and passing the S-Video signal thru the IO box.

    Hi Greg,

    Nov 2nd must be the day the the io’s don’t work. Kevin spent 2 hours on the phone with AJA techs, still couldn’t get it to work. We almost called you. Then, like all things mac, it just started working.

    Take Care,
    Chip

    turning it off, and then on again, makes things magically work.
