Well things went great on the production side. The KI Pro preformed flawlessly. We even used it to upconvert SD footage, and then playback an SD center crop version for one of the feeds.
We did have one issue that everyone should be made aware of. Since we were using the KI Pro to feed the satelite uplink we had to put the finished piece back on the drive. That was the easy part. What we did not know was the KI Pro can not play back audio that is stereo. What this means is that when you look at the info of the QT File and the audio reads stereo The KI Pro will play back garbage.
IT was an easy fix we just re -wrote the file using grouped mono instead. Get Info now shows 2 channels of Mono audio, and everything works fine.

You can. If you go into the AJA Preview setup there is a check box to turn off the preview. Just un check it and you will be back to just the AE Ram player. To make your preview performance better make sure auto scale is unchecked and your composition settings and playback settings are the same. Depending on your system that should get you closer.

I have done this already. They still seem a little blown out in the whites, The problem is I send H264 files for approval all the time. If the viewer is not on a Mac that pref is not there, and I constantly have to tell clients to switch that preference. Then they don’t like the look of other QT Files they have. Then the famous response why do I have to do this with YOUR files. Why would apple put us through this?

Thanks for the reply, but I got it figured out. It was all coincidental. It turns out my digital mixxing console went out. Too much heat and humidity here the last few days.
Thanks,

Yes I would choose an RGB 444 File format, if that is what you want. This all comes down to what you are using it for, and what system you are using. I do all of my broadcast work in 10-bit YUV. Then all of my color correction and film restoration work on DPX 10 bit log files, Some films like old black and white movies just don’t need that extra info. In that case 10 bit YUV is perfect. Each job calls for something different.
As far as r10K vs. R10K i Could not find any listing of the difference.

8-Bit YUV 4:2:2 – ‘2Vuy’ — Original Apple 8 Bit YUV File back in the cinevision days
8-Bit YUV 4:2:2 – ‘v210’ — Not 8 bit, but 10 bit YUV File
8-Bit RGB 4:4:4 – ‘rgb’ — Simple 8 bit RGB File (Red, Green, Blue)
8-Bit RGB 4:4:4 – ‘bgr’ — Same RGB File Written backwards
10-Bit RGB 4:4:4 – ‘R10k’ — 10 bit linear RGB File
10-Bit RGB 4:4:4 – ‘r10k’ — 10 bit linear RGB File
10-Bit Log RGB 4:4:4 – ‘R10g’ — 10 bit Logrithmic RGB FileHope this clears some things up.

It Works here too, but after a couple of these, or tweaking and re-tweaking I just get the Beach Ball O’ Death.
