Have you installed the prokit update? Everything works on all our systems except for that kona LHi problem. Which there’s super easy work arounds for since we have 2 other suites that perform the operation fine and the operation works fine via firewire.

Ah… Just did a software update. I typically turn software updating off once I have the systems up and running. Which they were. This must have just come out in the past month. Gonna run this update on all our suits after lunch. and see what happens.

[Jeremy Garchow] ”
If the problem follows the card, then it’s gotta be either the driers for the card, or the card itself. It seems that everything you have is setup correctly.”Well they sent us an entirely new card and it still has the problem. We also bumped down to a version 7.5 of the driver and still had the same problem.
I’m trying to get someone else out there in the internet world who has the same Card (kona LHi) and OS (10.6.7) to test and see what they come up with. I’m thinking that in a recent OS point update it’s causing some random little unforseen software glitch. That’s my best guess.

Yes. Still have the problem going through the VTR Exchange.

[Jeremy Garchow] “Bars on Varicam tapes, are not flagged with your shooting frame rate. So if you start a VFR capture in bars, you captures won’t work correctly.
This is a fresh log and capture? Also had some different comments in the Kona forum.
“Didn’t know bars aren’t flagged, but initially thought bars could have been the problem. So no bars after that in all our tests.
Always fresh project fresh log and capture.
From your post on the other forum.
[Jeremy Garchow] “If you open the AJA control panel, check the timecode section and click the ‘VFR’ check box, hit play on your tape, what do you see? (I think it’s in the tc tab, I cant remember off the top of my head Brain is full at the moment).Are you using the Panasonic 720p deck control setting?
The ones that work, is it from the same deck or different?
How about trying a ProRes 720p VFR setting. Does it work then?
“Timecode section on the panel has the user bits checkbox and when clicked it says 24fps Just went through all the tabs in the control panel and I don’t see a VFR checkbox, and don’t ever recall coming across one.
Deck control settings being used are AJA Kona LHi 59.94 VFR Panasonic VTR A
Have always been using the same deck when it works and when it doesn’t
Tried prores just now… Same problem

Interesting. Well the guy I talked to that day said they didn’t have it loaded.
No. we have not been capturing bars in the most recent tests we’ve been doing. I don’t recall, but I seem to remember we might have captured a little piece of bars when we originally started having this problem. But in all the tests We’ve just used a random section of the tape that has decent enough motion to see the motion to know if we’re getting repeats. (it’s spokesperson on camera stuff).

[David Roth Weiss] “Yes Matt, but as I like to say from time to time on the Cow, we are in a business of precision.
And, how would you feel if someone plagiarized your work and gave credit to someone else for the inspiration?”
Brilliant….but if we’re going to split hairs…lets split them down to the scalp. For Macromedia copied Discreet Edit* time line for it’s Keygrip product, which was later aquired by apple as Final Cut Pro.

[David Roth Weiss] “Nope, FCP copied Discreet Edit*.”
Good point..but I’m pretty sure his emphasis was on the Copied….not on the Avid.
