I would make a system whit two bootdisk, one for FCP and one for AVID. If you make a clean install on the two disks and make sure that there are no KONA drivers on the AVID boot disk, you should be able to have the Kona card in a all time. It would also make the two systems more stable – I would instal FCp and avid on same disk.

Hi Kristian and Loke
I think I have located the problem. I just start up FCP 5 I get the problems I told you about:

#The audio are advanced 2 frames

# The A/V device select “default” and not decklink audio

# I get this message when I will edit to tape:

The selected audio and video divice may not match: -Blackmagic PAL 8 bit
Please veryfy that audio and video outputs are externelly routed to the inteded divice(s)
Do you want to proced?

If I launch Pro Tools 6.9.2 LE before FCP are launched the problem are gone.

When I do a edit to tape, FCP start to “writhe video in a few minuts” and the I puts to tape whit out any warning. Then the sync are a OK.

Is it possible to fix this in a driver update so Pro Tools and decklink don’t conflict?

🙂 Morten

Hi Luke

I did the test this morning, and when I created a new user the A/V device was set to decklink, just as before. “The problem” commes if i change video output and goes back to decklink is choose “default” and not decklink audio.

The sync problem are still the same, so the result of the test are that it don’t help to create a new user.

I have spoken with Kristian who has been helping you with this problem via email. He has already verified that sync is working fine on our test suites in both 8-bit and 10-bit PAL.
* Can you tell me which easy setup you have chosen in Final Cut Pro HD 5.0.2?

DVCPro 50, but I have tried in 10 bit 8 bit AND DV, and it’s the same.

“Please remove all PCI cards from your G5 except for the DeckLink card. Then create a new project in Black-magic Deck Control using a Black-magic PAL JPEG easy setup and configure it to capture to your internal hard disk.
* Does the same problem still occur?”

Yes, I had also tried to put the card in to slot 4 (the top slut), whit same result: 2 frames audio advance.

I Just tried to do a play out from an old system disk:
FCP 4, OS X 10.3.8 and decklink driver 4.8 and that works perfect.

An other thing I noticed was that when i select decklink as video output in FCP 4 it automatically chose decklink audio. In FCP 5 it chooses the mac audio card as default.
