No, driver was installed. (It is possible to get SDI output from FCP5 without Decklink drivers installed?)

First sentence (about QT) – drivers was uninstalled and installed.
Second and third sentence (about FCP and slots) – drivers was installed.

Hi Luke,
I tested playing 8-bit and 10-bit clips with and without Decklink drivers installed. In Quicktime it allways play on 25fps. (I tested 120 seconds clips lenght).

In FCP5 10-bits clips freezes after short time (about 5 seconds) playing, 8-bit clips are played sometimes without problem, sometimes they freezes after 20-30 seconds.

Only, when is Kona SD placed in top slot, 8-bit clips are played sometimes without problem. placing it in other slots come with more wrog results -> Freezes every clip.

I have the same problem as jarrod
In OSX 10.3.8 + FCP 4.5 all worked fine withou problems, now I upgraded to OS X 10.4.2 + FCP5 and I have problem with freezing SDI output (on PAL monitor). On VGA monitor video plazed with all frames every time, on PAL monitor it freezes.

I muzst say that 10-bit clips freezes when played in timeline. 8-bit clips are sometimes o.k.
But Editing to tape or print to video dont work correctly – output freezes in 8 or 10 bit although on VGA monitor is played smoothly and without problems.

I tested change cards in slots, but no combination works.

Dual G5 2GHz machine + OSX 10.4.2. + all updates
Kona SD + Atto UL4D (Medea Videoraid RTRX) + Apple FC HBA (XRaid – raid 50, 14 drives)
