[Paul Burgess] "I have installed my Kona 3 today into a new Powermac with FCP."
I'm assuming you mean a new Mac Pro. PowerMac is the older PCI-X G5 architecture and the Kona 3 would not install in that machine.
[Paul Burgess] "FCP was not showing as in control in the Kona 3 control tab."
FCP will only be in control if you are using an AJA Kona Easy Setup or manually setting the Kona as the output device. If you are using something like DV, then FCP will not be in control and the Kona card will revert to whatever you have set under the "Control" tab of the AJA Control Panel.
[Paul Burgess] "then I took the Kona 3 card out and the computer started up OK first time."
Do you have the card installed into a proper slot in the machine as recommended in the Installation manual?
Did you download and install the latest 5.1 drivers from aja.com's website?
