xenyx 802 ok for sound?

HAVE YOU TRIED FREE RUN?
-
yes, I did, the pops were still there as well as the audio losing sync with the image making it completely useless.

Record your video, the way you want it. Record a scratch track using the voice over tool in FCP.
That’s your best bet.

cool, i guess thats what we’ll end up doing.
so, just to say ive learned something from this thread, its that the cause of the problem is my imperfect input signal combined with some nuance of the dvcpro hd codec that is leading to the pops?

Ian – this is what you have learned from this thread. You will get your hands on a AJ-HD1400, and a black generator. You will genlock the AJA Kona and the HD1400 with color black with 2 different feeds from the black generator, and terminate these feeds (the HD1400 will have auto termination, the Kona will not). You will set your Kona Control Panel “control” tab to EXT REF, and you will capture video material at 720p. You will insure that you have drivers installed that are at least V3.4 or V4. If you STILL have audio popping, I urge you to stop posting on the forum, pick up the telephone, and call AJA, and start yelling.

[ianfreeze] “its that the cause of the problem is my imperfect input signal combined with some nuance of the dvcpro hd codec that is leading to the pops?”
It’s not the codec, it’s your varied signals.

Update: For what its worth, I talked to a friend in dallas who told me to try plugging in a standard def color bars signal into the ref in of my card then try recording and see if the clicks and pops and audio/video sync drift persisted. I did and the clicks and pops went away, but my audio/video sync drift remained.
I was doing some digging and I found the HD10AVA from aja
https://www.aja.com/html/products_converters_HD10AVA.html
Since this can combine analogue audio with component video could that take care of the audio/video sync drift?
This converter doesnt have a ref in port, will that be a problem? -
Not sure, I’d call AJA for the definitive answer, but I’d guess that it would reclock the signals for you and produce a stable image.

Another update. I solved the problem. Its very strange that this worked, but it seemed to do the trick. Before, I was running the audio into the mixer, and the main output of the mixer into the analogue in of the Kona. Now i send the audio signal straight into the analogue in of the Kona (bypassing the mixer) and then sending the analogue output to the mixer for monitoring. This seems to fix the problem. My audio stays in sync, and clicks and pops. I have no idea what this means, but if anyone out there was still curious its food for thought.
