I just started getting the same problem with FCP6 and the Z!.
Happens t a few seconds into a tape. I got the same tape to work by importing as a plain DV tape instead of DVCAM.
I have no idea what causes the problem.

Thanks and thanks again.
It worked once I had done as you said and also changed the driver to the NDD version.

I must always remember to read the Read me!!!

Makes sense – I just hoped that using the Kona codec would use the Kona processor.
I was misinformed by the dealer.
Thanks for your help.

Iys an 8 core 3.0 Ghz Mac Pro bought in december – it was top of the line then.
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro2,1
Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 3 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 8
L2 Cache (per processor): 8 MB

SMC Version: 1.15f3

Is that a problem?

Paul

[Paul Burgess]

When I feed in by firewire from a camera – say a DV source and choose a Kona codec to up convert – will the card then handle the up convert to the disc?

Paul

[Paul Burgess]

Thank you for clearing that up.

The Kona was only purchased last Friday and was installed in slot 3 in a Power Mac purchased in Decemeber twin 5.0 Ghz quad core.
Kona 5.1 driver.

Running Leopard with latest updates.

After the initial problems I uninstalled the Kona, removed the card and tried – it booted up OK. Installed the card and software – it now worked but as you are working on it FCP gradually loses touch with the card followed by a screen close down with one multi- language message asking for a restart and that from then on is all you get. Its no not working at all.

At first i thought it was me but I was wrong. At least now its conistant – it never even allows me to boot the machine up.

Spoke to soon. I thought it was me but it isn’t.

All works fine for a while then FCP stops controlling the Kona board – then after say ten minutes the computer crashes with the message to restart – that all you get from then on no matter how many times you try. Renove the card and the computer boots up again.
If I am alone with this then I guess I just have a faulty board – I will try and look up support over here in the UK. .
