We were directed to use Slot 3 by AJA when we first started developing for their hardware, so… no, this has never changed.

As for the board swap, you should swap the card first because you said you’ve experienced “flakyness” with this card in the past and perhaps this is why.

Hey Matt,

Your specs all check out. It should be working.

You wrote that you can capture DV via QuickTime and Final Cut Pro, what about component? Have you tried that via FCP?

Another question I have is what slot is the AJA card in? It should be in Slot #3 as marked on the back of the Mac.

DANG IT!!! I thought I posted this yesterday but it turns out I only responded to the alert email.

Have you SEEN what those record companies do to file-sharers? I’m not ruffling those feathers anymore than is absolutely necessary.

Yeah, I ask him that all the time too. He’s never given me a straight answer though.

I just ran it by our Engineers and, although it’s a good thing to have the latest version, they’re not optimistic about it re: your problem.

We will probably need to get some media from you that exhibits the problem. If you can find a smaller clip that fails in the same way, that would be great.

If you can post it somewhere we can grab it, just send an email to support@media100.com with the details. If you can’t do that, send us an email so we can contact you and then we’ll find a place for you to post it.

Hmmm…

Try this… https://www DOT youtube DOT com/watch?v=w_d6Km3QJFc

Sure you can do that!

Boris RED can read user marks applied to either the Media 100 Program or the individual clips (you did know you could apply marks to clips in the Edit Suite, right? 😉

When you get into Boris RED…
– Go to the “Window” menu and choose “Show User Marks Window”
– In the “User Marks” window, click on “Import Host Marks”
– Voila!

While your messing around with this sort of thing, you may also want to choose “Show Timecode Palette” from Boris RED’s “Window” menu and then choose “Host Timecode”. This sets up RED to use the actual timecode numbers from your timeline.

Another detail to watch for…

– Continue holding the keys until you see the message that you’ve chosen to re-acquire using the current settings.

To be clear…
1 – Ensure your settings are the way you want them. Even if you’re only doing audio, be sure your video standard is correct as audio clips have an “awareness” of the video standard.

2 – Select the clips to be re-acquired.

3 – Hold down the key combo (Shift+Control for Video, Option+Command for Audio, all 4 keys for both Video and Audio)

4 – While holding the keys, choose Batch Reacquire Selected from the Media menu.

5 – Continue holding the keys until you see the message that you’ve chosen to re-acquire using the current settings.

If this still doesn’t help, put the clips to be reacquired in a new bin and put that bin in List View. Then take a look at the columns (turn on more if needed in View menu > View Settings. See if you can see what the property on the clips is that is conflicting with your current settings.

Hi Gregg,

I’ve got all the same stuff so… it’s a nearly apples-to-apples comparison. Nearly, because I’m on Snow Leopard, but I’d be surprised if that’s the issue.

The only way I can get the “Can’t Record4” error to come up is to intentionally set SDI 2 to “SD SDI 2” but that makes no sense to me ’cause you say you can then acquire manually just fine. If I set up to fail, I still have to fix the incorrect setting in order acquire manually.

I’m beginning to wonder if your Preferences are corrupted. Go to YourUserFolder/Library/Preferences… and delete the folder named “Media 100 Suite Preferences”. While you’re there, delete any older M100 Prefs folders you may see and also delete the file named “com.Media100.Media100Suite.plist”.

Then, create an all new Project and bring the Progam(s) in question into the new Project and try batching again.

Hey Gregg,

We are completely unable to reproduce this problem here. Are you still seeing it?

Anyone else out there with a Kona3 having trouble with HD-SDI 2 input on Batch Acquire?

Any tips on how I might reproduce it it?

Hmmmm… this has me thinking…

I tend not to open up the door to feature requests like this on a public forum but…

I figure most people aren’t going to dig this deep down a thread that’s already been solved so it’s likely that only the truly committed are reading this. 😉

Can anyone suggest a “better” way to indicate that this draft mode is set? The first thing that comes to mind for me is some sort of “watermark” on the sub-sampler display. Not on the video output and not in exports, just on the Source/Record/Monitor windows.

Thoughts?
