The raid is half populated, 7 drives on one side.

I’m running 8 gigs on a new MacPro using a Kona 3. This is the first project I’ve put any video on a new 3 tb xserve raid. I believe to this point I should be ok. The only thing left is the fibre, 100 ft,in between the raid and the Mac. I have been doing some testing and once the same video is ingested using the DVCPro HD 60 codec said video plays back fine. The problem is with uncompressed or the AJA Kona3 720p 59.94 codec.

Am I off base to assume that the fiber cable is the problem and what would be the fix?

Thanks,
Clyde

I don’t think this is the problem because to ingest the clip at all I had to turn off the “Abort capture on dropped frames” setting. With this checked the FCP would roll through the first 15 or 20 secends and then report a dropped frame error.

Could the problem be with the way I shot the footage, 60 fps, and now I am trying to capture at 59.94.

Yes, I am an Avid editor migrating to FCP.
