I don’t know, that’s why I posted! I have tried ALL of the S-Video easy setups in FCP. Yes, I have all the latest stuff from AJA and yes, 3&4 are turned off. Now I should say that when they are turned off I do not hear the pops in preview but I still see them on the meters and it’s all of the channels that are popping not just 3&4 but 3&4 are the loudest.

Now, since I posted yesterday, I have moved the Io LA to my other PM with the same results, however, I have narrowed down the problem. It appears that this issue is caused by the JVC (yes, I know, Junk Video Corp.) S deck that I am using. If I power doen the deck the pops go away, however, it is much more difficult to capture video with the deck off! I have two of these pieces of junk and nothing else to test. ( I didn’t choose these machines, they were left to me by a previous employee.)

Does anyone know what could be causing this?

They are connected this way, S-Video from deck to AJA, stereo RCA audio to Mackie 1204 and mackie to AJA then AJA to PM. I have also tried going composite from deck to AJA with the same results.

BTW, when I capture I do not here the pops I just get really crappy audio.

Thanks for any help.

I have 5 G-Tech drives and have not had a problem with any of them. The only LaCie drive I have had went back to the factory after only 2 weeks. After terrible customer service I decided to replace it with a G-Raid drive. These things run 24/7 and never get hot or tired. They are also very fast. They cost a little more but they do have fans and look really cool. There is a G-Tech forum here, check it out.

BTW, I get nothing for recommending these drives, I am just a big G-Tech fan.
