>>>OK – the Kona 3 card uses 2 different AES connectors – those are not analog XLR’s—-

I know, I have a digital AES/EBU connection..

>>>Have you set FCP to monitor all of the audio channels? by default it mixes down to stereo.

I have figured out how to set FCP to output more than 2 channels : )

…But I need it to work with other software than FCP, I think it is strange that I can’t output more than 2 channels with AJA Xchange,VVTR and other software..

I only need a “6-ch” playout software to use in a cinema…

Hi,

I can’t get audio out to work with Kona3 and Mac Pro (2008).
I have installed the card in slot 3 , installed FCP and then the AJA 5.1 NDD version for OS X 10.5.2.

in both FCP and AJA VTR Xchange capture:
I can capture audio (Embedded,XLR,(have not tried SDI..)
I can monitor the audio through XLR when I capture (ch1-8 + analog )

I can not monitor ch 3 -8 after capture, only ch 1+2 (and the analog..)
In FCP I can see all the channels,and I can route the different channels to ch 1+2 output, so I know that they are not just empty sound files..
I can not see more than ch1+2 in the “audio outputs menu” in FCP, I undestand that it should list all channels in this menu.
I have checked 5.1 surround in user prefference.

In the AJA controlPanel I hvae tried to change the audio input to see if it could have anything to do with the outputs, but still the same…
I can’t find any option to audio output other than “Frame buffer or Audio In” in DS Keyer menu.

I have tried installing the driver several times, also tried re-install of OSX (10.5.2)

Tried without the breakout box, just the audio multi-cables, still the same problem.

Since I can hear ch 1-8 from the AJA output(XLR) when I capture (SDI embedded,XLR) I guess the breakout box audio is pass through to the output.

Is it just a setting that I am missing ?
Is the AJA not compatible with 2008 mac Pro ?

Why can’t I output all audio channels…..
