All is well here running 10.4.11 and FCP 6.0.2, QT7.3 on a Kona 2 v.4 drivers.
The render issue seems to be gone, thankfully. -
The short answer is to your question is “yes”. I upgraded from OSX.4.10. to OSX.4.11. And I am running Kona driver version 4.0. on an older G5 2.5ghz DP, not an intel machine. I upgraded using the software update feature. I saw a release notes somewhere that says to upgrade all the pro apps together. That includes QT 7.3. Except for having to trash the Motion preferences, everything is running fine.

Went to FCP 6.0.2 running under OSX.4.11 last night, and QT7.3. Worked on an existing project all day today and everything seems fine. Only worked in 525, 8 bit, but nothing out of the ordinary in FCP. The render bug was killing me. Hopefully it’s fixed.
I did have an issue with the Motion upgrade. My file browser/library/inspector window did a disappearing act. And you know what? Motion is usless without it. Trashed the prefs, and everything was normal again.
I’ve got Tiger in-house, but will wait until AJA comes out with appropriate drivers.

Is transfer manager part of Flip Factory? Or are you refering to the Sony XDCam software. I tried the Sony Transfer Manager, but it did not like Avid’s “flavor” of MXF.

I have the captured/imported Avid MXF media as files on a drive. The original HDV media is no longer accessable, as I wasn’t involved in the production. I also have the sequence as an OMF2.0 that can be read by Automatic Duck Pro Import.
What I’d like to do is re-link the sequence with the media in FCP6/Kona set-up for titling and color correction.

Upgraded yesterday. All went smoothly.
I did however, back up my system drive, then did an erase and new clean install of OSX.4, updated system software to X.4.9 and Quicktime to latest version, then installed FCStudio 2, and finally the new Kona 4 drivers. Finally dragged back all the project files, re-installed misc. applications and FCP plug-ins.
I also saved and dragged back my button bars, custom keyboard layout, and custom column layouts, and those recalled in FCP6 just fine.
All together it took about 6 hours, but at least I know I’ve got a good clean install from the get-go.
Did not mess around with any other apps yet. That will happen later today.

I got a shipment notification from Apple today.
AJA, what’s the status of Kona product line with FCP6. Any guidance here, yet.
Are the latest Kona drivers good to go with FCP6, or will there be a driver update?
Thanks in advance for your insight.

Trash the FCP preferences for your user. I’ll bet this fixes the problem.

“Should I wait?” That depends on how badly you need a new system.
Keep in mind, that even if Apple announces new products at NAB, It’s likely that the new products will not be shipping immediately.
So if you want to wait, you might have to wait until anywhere from May until August.
So the real question becomes, do you need the new gear to generate income now or can it wait. Only you can answer that question.

Check you Kona control panel, and make sure you select the correct SDI input.
The correct capture setting, assuming NTSC is AJA Kona 525 – 29.97 10 bit. (or 8 bit for smaller file sizes
and a little less quality. For PAL you should use 625-25 10bit.How are you getting audio. Embedded, AES or analog?
