Are we sure it can’t just be scaled down to 1080 for viewing?

Unless I’m missing something, this only seems useful if you want to capture ProRes on a laptop.
Otherwise save some money and just get a capture card and setup to capture ProRes.

” I have a Tempo-X 4+4 card in slot 4 and a Kona LH in slot 3 in a dual 2.7 G5…. ”
It will work fine generally, but the Kona card will be more bandwidth starved in certain situations then the SATA card. The idea is that the Kona needs the most speed, and that’s what AJA recommends.

There are a few nice utilities for combining different icons to make something custom. I’ve used iconCompo with success in the past. There are many others of course. Check Versiontracker.com.

It is kinda weird. However, it’s not so much and issue of it not working, just that you have to do a little extra. It involves editing a plist file in FCP 4.5 and changing “PCI” to “AGP.” Of course, it won’t be officially supported then.
“Control-Click on the Final Cut Pro application and select show package contents.
Open the contents folder and open info.plist.
Search for AGP replace it with PCI.
Save and close the file.
Open FCP4, and voila it works.”(courtesy of LAFCPUG forum member “andee.”)
I don’t think this is a money grubbing move on Apple’s part. The older versions just couldn’t predict the new hardware. Although, I think Apple should offer a little patch for FCP 4.5 to correct the issue. If not, well, that is a bit lame.

This past weekend, I did a 1080psf24 online into FCP 5.02 via Kona 2 and didn’t have any of the problems mentioned. I’m not at all saying the problem doesn’t exist, but just that in that particular case it didn’t happen to me, in case that helps. Regardless, AJA needs to look into the matter.

If you don’t have Photoshop, you could throw a deinterlace filter on the clip first in the timeline.

I’m not sure why the canvas overlays disappear in this case, but they do sometimes. Just use the three little buttons.
