THANKS GUYS – YOU WERE ALL RIGHT AS ALWAYS!!
Rocking speeds – the Kona seems much more of a pro card than mu other 2 BM’s? Talks TV language!
Even Final Touch seems to be behaving itself! -
Thanks guys – Bob – its a Huge raid with atto celerity (latest drivers) Im getting speeds of 148 read but the Timeline is DVCproHD so no bandwidth issues here. I didnt know about the PCI utility I’ll tcheck it out on Monday.
When it works I look forward to trying to get Final Touch to run on it!!!!!! 🙂
(that should keep me busy!) -
Thanks walter – You got that Ole Final Touch workin yet?
-
No response from any one!!!!

I meant the VT Deck – I had ecxactly the same problem with an HD Pro card and a Sony HDCAM M2000p VTR – I found that If the Computer and the card started up before the deck then there was no 422 control – Start the deck first then the mac and presto – it works evey time – I think it has something to do with a stable signal going into the Card on start up.
-
Make sure the BM card is connected to your deck and the deck is switched on on start up – If the card doesnt see the deck the 422 wont work!

sorry luke – let me explain whats happening – I’m reconforming a programme in 8bit uncompressed using bm 8 bit 1080i50 setting
FCP reports its fine and plays the sequences with no problems
Then I am xml ing the sequence into Final Touch and grading it – then i rerender and import via XML into Final Cut (5.1.2) The rendered clips are dropping frames when in the timeline but the original quicktimes play fine both in FCP and in QTM Player.The time line is set to BM 1080i 50 preset and FT is doing XML export – in other words keeping codec etc the same – FT reports the same frame rate discrepancies as Quicktime.
I have solved this problem by recompressing the clips (using FCP Export) to The Same uncompressed 422 codec that they werei originally and this seems to stamp the frame rate on the clip as Both quicktime player and Final Touch now have a clip that they are happy with and I graded and rendered the sequence out with no problem
Disk speed test is giving me 289 read and 285 write speeds
-
Oh Ive got a load of stuff digitised thru a Kona and its rock solid!
-
no everything the right setting – the clips show up in fcp as 25 fps but quicktime shows them as varying between 23 and 25fps
-
25p
Thanks
