Those of you having a “failed to initialize audio hardware” issues, can I ask what I/O device are you using with your MacPro?

AVID 7.03 MacPro 2014 16Gb ram BMD Ultra 4K

I have owned an F-3 since February 11, and while I played with the S & Q dial a few times, the beauty of an F-3 is the pristine 1080i images, and when you compare the same shot as 720p from the F-3 (as I have in normal motion and slow motion) you will never use the S & Q dial again. Disappointing as I was always hoping for an in camera slo-mo of liquid feel with the new camera, but alas the F-3 is not the answer.

My friend Doug Jensen at Vortex media has created a disk of original camera footage using the F-3 and Slog with a number of external recorders. He compares the footage from the SxS card EX codec and the various recorders so you can make your own judgements about image quality and workflow.

using the 1.5 gb option ( that not dual link) you get a clean no info overlay on the A bnc port and you can get an info overlay on the HDMI port. The SDI port is then disabled.

threres one other gotcha in the new menues. when you set the Hdsdi A port to 1.5 Gb out, you do get a clean output in record and E-E, but there is no playout from the internal cards on that port or on the other SDI output.

Now with the new firmware, I get a message to “Backup and re-format”. I was just playing the file, and left the unit on pause for 10 min. Say, how hot does this unit get-like very warm to the touch on top?
BTW, my emails yesterday to Tech Support go unanswered.

Downloaded a fresh firmware update, installed and HAD TO RESET TO FAC SET (Menu 99.0) on the Ki Pro Mini to get the unit to playback files. This should be noted in the instructions.

Since I archive my finished programs as ProRes, there really is no extra effort, just copy the file to the CF card. And yes, it carries 12 characters of title info! A real plus. That said, the KPM updated to 2.5 firmware does not play audio out regardless of the source of the input. If recorded by the camera, timeline output, or a copied file -there is no audio output from the device, period. Reverted back to 2.1, and all works as normal.

Listening to the headphones, or HDMI, no audio what so ever. Again, the files on the CF card are just fine, and when I reverted back to 2.1, the audio output from the KMP returns. perhaps another download will fix this.

Not the issue I’m having. In, fact my output files from FCP worked just fine on ver 2.1 before I did the upgrade to 2.5 And the KPMini won’t play back the audio of a camera file.
