Thanks, that worked perfectly. Seems odd that AJA don’t include a 30p preset.

sorry: “shot” at 720pN30

Even though 90 MB/s is nowhere near what I should be getting, it’s still not horrible when most of the work is DVCPRO HD. However, even with that, I occasionally get the dropped frames error on playback in FCP, when the scratch files are on the RAID. So, that 90 MB/s isn’t 100% reliable – not good.

Sheesh, Bob, I’d have a lot more respect for you if you hadn’t used “MAC” in your post. What are you: some kind of a Windows IT weenie guy? I thought they were the only ones that used MAC, instead of Mac. Man…
😉
You’ll be glad to hear that I bought a Behringer Xenyx 502 this afternoon. All is now well.

I did read that thread. Lots of useful info but not an answer to my original question (i.e., “did the ability to change levels in the OS disappear in the 3.1 driver update”).
The Big Knob looks great but it doesn’t help my wife’s requirement, so the 1202 is probably better overall.

Actually, the other thread doesn’t have the answer to my original question: did this change between 3.0 and 3.1 or because of the Mac Pro?
However, I suppose it doesn’t really matter: my wife needs a mixer for a project of hers, so I think I’ll just get a Mackie 1202 and stop wondering. Oh, I called Mackie direct and they, like everyone else here, said the setup would work fine. I’m not sure what the audio store guy was talking about but I’m sure he’ll take my money regardless!

Yes, I did. When I go into the Sound control panel, click on Output, I do see the Kona as being the seleted output device (it’s also the input device). Changing the ouput volume in their (or on the menu bar) has no affect on the volume.
I called a local pro audio store (Leo’s Pro Audio in Berkeley) and the guy there thought adding a mixer between the Kona and the speakers was crazy. Perhaps I didn’t do a good job of explaining the reason but he said that what I needed instead of a mixer was a line-level attenuator. I think he’s wrong (he’d never heard of a Kona card) but it was kind of disturbing.

Hi Wayne,
Are your symptoms similar to mine? That is, can you capture in FCP ok and playback in QT Player but just not FCP? I did call ATTO and they say they’re aware of the problem and will be releasing a new driver in November. It seems like the problem is definitely caused by the ATTO card. I wish Apple had a 4 GB FC card.
What array are you using?
Regards,

You bet. I’ve got the 3.1 Kona drivers.

I definitely checked the sequence settings (in fact, I think my sequence is actually called “720p/59.94 10bit”!). I was testing with a new sequence and had used the right easy setup.
