Gary, sorry about writing 720i. I won’t let it happen again.
Perhaps you missed this in my original post
“The monitor works fine with the Kona card and the system, I know this because I can right click on any of my footage in the finder (1080i/24p, 720p, etc.) and use AJA TV to view it on my JVC monitor and it plays perfectly.”
I’ve also already uninstalled and re-installed both FCP and the newest 4.0.2 Kona Drivers.
Yes I selected the kona card in Color Prefs. My footage was 1080i 29.97 10bit, so I selected 1080i 29.97 10bit. When I view the same shoot with the AJA TV utility it automatically selects 1080i 29.97 10bit, and plays fine. So I don’t think this is a matter of me selecting the wrong resolution.
