It only seems to be an issue with the Apple FCS apps. Nuke and other non-FCS apps show the files fine. (Qucktime works fine) And if I run the video out to a broadcast monitor it looks fine.
It has something to do with the way the FCS apps are showing files on the LCD’s. It’s as if it is showing it with a crazy dark gamma.
I’ve tried deleting all the preferences and reseting settings, but that didn’t help. Next step is to completely remove FCS and reinstall and see if that makes a difference.

So it does seem to be a system spec issue. I dropped the frame rate in the RT button settings to “half” and it will play fine (well choppy as it’s supposed to).
What I don’t understand is that it will play fine with an 8bit Kona 2 output, and no Kona output at all, but when you switch to 10bit it drastically increases resources it needs. How/why does that happen. I would assume the file resource requirements would stay the same, and that the Kona handled the output (8 or 10 bit).
Anybody know what changes / why the requirements go up when outputting 10bit Pro-Res?

Dual 2.7 G5. Files running off a single SATA drive.
Initially I thought it might be the system, but like I said in the above post, the media play fine with the kona 8 bit output, or when there is no kona output. So it seems like it can handle playing the file, just not when the Kona output is set to 10 bit. Don’t understand what that would be the case.

Ok I think I’m finding out more info.
I believe it has to do with the 7.5 IRE (setup) issues.
I’m running everything out through a firewire (sony dsr-11) DV deck, and from what I gather it doesn’t add the 7.5 IRE that the US broadcast spec uses. I’m guessing that FCP doesn’t add this in either, hence the darker image.
When I import it into After Effects, AE for whatever reason is adding this on its own. (I can’t find a setting to control this anywhere). So more then likely the AE version is the true colors of the image. (At least via US broadcast equipment).
If anyone has any thoughts/or similar experiences let me know.
