What you have written makes no sense.

“We do not wish the underlying operating system to have any control on audio i/o. We also believe that FCP itself should not have any control on audio input on digital streams.”

1 The OS controls everything.
2 FCP controls what the OS allows it to control. It’s the Apple way.
3 FCP must control the input gain on all inputs, why just should analog be different?

“The bug being that the sound preferences slider resets to 50% and does not stay at their 67% to provide unity gain.”

That is simply wrong. the input slider resets to 50% the output slider stays at 67% and does not move.

“Give the customer the option of having the operating system control the gain.”
“We do not wish the underlying operating system to have any control on audio i/o.”

Well which one do you want?

I just want the FCP gains levels to override the OS beep levels, and to accept what the KONA is sending to it.

—What are the advantages of the Kona 2 (other than HD) as compared to the IO? KONA give you a third desktop by default. This is a big deal for PhotoShop users to see uncompressed images. But the big advantage to me is the HD and SD out at the same time.

—Is it faster? KONA has DVCPro HD acceleration that the Io cannot do.

—More reliable/stable? No, both are reliable and stable

—Is the Kona 2 fully compatible with FCP5 and Tiger? Yes and so is Io

—Can I output to NTSC monitor like the IO? Yes

Hi AJA Sales

Thanks for the feedback.

It is good to know you folks are are on top of it.

David is correct, the SDTI is will not work with standard SDI interfaces.

Do you see this as a KONA or FCP issue?

Thanks

David

The output slider in System Preferences Sound must be set to 67% for the KONA2 to be at unity.

Thanks Gary

I did not know that the KONA TV setting could do that.

I believe you will have to render your Animation Codec clips to one of the many KONA supported codecs.

Who told you “you need it”?

Ask them why, because you can do the same thing with a FlyingCow D->A, A->D converter.

Or if it is just confidence monitoring the K-Box will do it.

…Obviously the G5 operates the i/o control panel through the firewire port, but once I launch FCP, does that disable the i/o as a stand alone device?
You operate the control panel and you select the I/O device. You disable or enable.

….Do I just use Kona setups in FCP and the i/o is just a firewire device out on it’s own accesed through the control panel?
Kona Setups for Kona I/O, iO setups for iO I/O. ( I always wanted to say that)
FCP A/V setup determines the Input and output devices. Then if an Kona2 is the Input or Output device then the Kona Contril Panle takes over from there.

….Just trying to figure all the audio and video routing.
Lots of options

Hope this is clear.
