Hi Jeremy

Thanks for your advice, it sounds like the best option. i’ve just got to find out why my card doen’t register in slot 2 now.

Thanks again

Hi Jeremy

they said it would be fine for system sound as sound track pro will only work on the sytem sound at the moment my syten is set as you sugested to internal and i have sent the sound out via a lead to the mixer fron the headphone socket. the problem is that this is unbalanced audio and there is som interferance.

any views?

i actually called AJA to try and get to the bottem of this capture card problem. they insist that the Kona card should be use as the sound card and they say that the clicking is due to the programes releasing the “bit” ?

this doesn’t explain the fact that the problem has seemed to have gotten worse and the fact that i didn’t have this problem before.

also has anyone got any idea as to why my card looses registration in PCI slot two and that when i reinstall the drivers the card looses registration again. i know it runs better in slot 3 but i’m concerned that there is something wrong with the PCI slot (although i’ve been that hard ware either work or it doesn’t- theres no inbetween)

i take onboard your suggestion about the sound and i will change it immediatly. should i run a lead from the headphone socket strait into the mixer.

Also even when sountrack pro is set to the aja kona card the sound doen’t go through the kona and if i take it from the headphone socket the sound is no longer balanced, hence the reason for setting sound in preferences to the kona card.

i have run the test utility on the disk pressing alt on start up and there are no errors.

there is no other program on the mac so i’m a bit stuck as to what to do.

thanks again

hi Bob

in response to your posting i’m not entirely sure which codec i should use to deliver an online HD from the sony HD cam or any other single link system if the DVCPRO HD is the codec i should be using then that’s fine. i’ve still in my infant stage of understanding codecs.
the reason for the raid array is to have some kind of economical expandability so that i won’t be in a position where i tell my customers that i can online HD then not be able to deliver due to inadequate harddrive speeds.
as i mentioned originally i have the Kona LHe card. so i can’t capture the sony cine alter for example but i should be able to capture hd cam and other single link hd cameras?

i think this is turning into a workflow problem and it’s important that i purchase the right hardware now so that i can do larger projects in the future.

am i making sense or have i got this completly wrong?

Thanks Ian

i take it that your running the highpoint card on a mac. is it the High Point Rocket 2322 card
do you find the hardware raid controller useful or do you run them at raid 0 ?

Thanks again
