Thanks Gary for Replying

I’ve thought about the upgrade but prefer doing more research before I get myself into a pickle. On a semi related topic, I’ve had problems w/the CalDigit drives from the beginning. Primarily with the drives not booting on start up on a semi regular bases. Have to restart or repair permissions and/or zap PRAM. I believe the drives might be hanging my “shut down”.

CalDigit Tech support gave me two possibilities “It’s probably an OS 10.4.10 vs 10.4.08 or reformat the drives” Overall the Tech Support Rep prefer 10.4.08 and was pointing his figure towards the 10.4.10. Additionally when we originally installed the drives, I had Tech Support walked me through the phone on formatting the drives for KONA3 card. It would be greatly inconvenient to move all my media and reformat. I’m thinking it’s their “driver” but may have to move this topic over to the CalDigit forum.

I did send an e-mail to CalDigit support about 10.4.11 and asked about their support for it. So far no reply.

Otherwise, things work when they work but these annoying issues just slow my mornings down.

Any more input would be great.

Thanks

Good idea
But will Compressor perform the correct Aspect Ratio? My goal is 16×9 Pillar Box from the 4×3 full frame source

So far I’ve played around.
The real-time capture doesn’t work because the 720p 23.98 is using Panasonic User-Bit technology. I’m currently on FCP 5.1.4 Production Bundle and Cinema Tools doesn’t recognize HD files for Pulldown. Hoping the new version of Cinema Tools would help out.

This is all for a client of mine that’s working in 720p 23.98 and they have some NTSC 29.97 w/2:3 cadence. Looking for a real-time solution.

O/S 10.4.9
KONA 2 3.4driver
FCP 5.1.2

Gary

Let me ask another question instead.
If the “Easy Setup” is 1080i25 will the KONA digitizer capture the psf format into interlace.
Creating interlace artifacts from the psf master. Don’t care about the playback on a monitor. Just the QT.
Again they are compositing with QT files. So …that’s their concern.

What about the file that is captured? If the tape is 25psf and the digitizer is set of 50i.
Does this add any interlace artifacts?

Thank You for Your Time & Patience

Yes…the canvas after placing the clips in the sequence.

“Are you having to render these clips in the sequence? ”
No…they fit perfectly in the sequence….

“How do they playback in the Viewer?”

They play fine in the Viewer.

Also all the 1080 frequence play fine in both the Canvas and my HD monitor.
My ouput setting from the card match my sequences.

Hope you have more suggestions
