[Shane Ross] “Apple’s priorities no longer seem to be with some of the high end video professional…only with their niche (a sizeable one, I’ll admit)”
Is the glass half empty or half full?
FCPX goes faster on the most modern Mac while most everything else can’t even register the capability the iMac Pro offers.
Which is more high end? The one that can take advantage of all the power, or the type of high end that can’t even see the power that’s available?

[Neil Goodman] “For example, we all have Aja cards, need a place to stick those cards and our TD wont invest in anything without a roadmap for upgrades and expandability so we can future proof. “
When we moved to a nearly all thunderbolt infrastructure, we kept our pcie fiber cards and AJA pcie cards. They still work, many years later. Much longer than expected.
When we ditched all forms of tape capture/layoff, and all the infrastructure of THAT (patch bays, most AV Routing, and granted we are small, not large, facility) we switched to thunderbolt a/v output devices (but still have our PCIe cards in thunderbolt pcie chassis).
So future proofing in this sense, is more like legacy dragging. So far, Thunderbolt hasn’t stopped us from dragging a legacy, it has opened up more connectivity between disparate machines and devices (laptops/iMacs/whatevers hooked to fiber that was impossible before, etc).
It is a big decision to decide which legacy to drag, including the the new legacy a recent purchase inevitably represents.

[Chad Smith] “Same issue with Bars being out of spec”
Did you uninstall and reinstall the AJA and or Blackmagic Drivers?
If that doesn’t work, have to written AJA support?

Have you tried an uninstall and reinstall?

Is your Library set for 709 vs wide gamut?
And have you updated the drivers of all of those devices (uninstall/reinstall)?

Store your media and cache outside of the library and you can save on transfer times.
I do this often and use chronosync to sync both media and library files between a probable system and desktop system. This way, if I generate any media files through Ae renders and such, all of that is synced as well.

Yes, 10.4
What do the bars look like in FCPX? If so, then maybe it is a BMD setting of it’s happening on the hardware out?

[Chad Smith] “Sorry for the delay. Had to get some jobs out ☺
“The best kind of delay.
[Chad Smith] “Wondering how these bars look on your end. “
They look perfect:

I’ve seen this problem reported a couple of times now. It must be a bug. I’d report it to Apple.
In the meantime, maybe something like EditReady can help get the footage in to a format that is working:

I would delete our render cache and restart FCPX.
If that doesn’t work, quit FCPX, and trash your preferences on the next launch by holding command-option while launching FCPX.
You may lose any custom workspaces but they are placed in a zip file on your desktop for easy retrieval.
