Hey all,

We are having a similar problem here with laybacks from an FCP/Kona3 rig to both a Sony DVW-500 DigiBeta and a Sony SVW-5500 HDCamSR deck. We have tested several things that have resulted in either a +/- 1 frame offset and a +/- 2 frame offset (different drives, different deck protocols, AJA panel settings, taking devices out of line to deck, trahsing preferences, etc) and have not yet found a solution.

We would be happy to hear more about ANY solutions including individual deck presets (which I agree is crap to have to do; I would hope Apple is doing a better job than this). I am beginning to suspect the software version 6.0.4 (our other specs below). Were previous versions as persnickety with laybacks? We didnt think so, but we are unsure as we had been running a different configuration.

Again, any and all thoughts welcome and appreciated.

Our specs:
FCP 6.0.4
KONA3 (6.0)
OS 10.5.5
CPU 2×2.8 Quad-Core Intel
RAM 8GB
