Re: AJA Kona 6.0.3 question

"That has worked since day one, as Gary notes, it was 23.98 that was fixed.
In FCP you should be set for HD.
In the AJA Control Panel you should have your formats set correctly and the output set to 525."

Walt,

According to Kona's own support personnel, the 1080i 29.97 to 525i 29.97 downconvert didn't work properly with the 6.0.2 release. Their release notes for 6.0.3 states that this was fixed:
"Resolved an issue during capture involving down-conversion of 1080i29.97 to 525i29.97."

I, however, have not gotten this fix to work.

I'm not setting FCP to capture HD because I don't want the files in HD -- I'm using them in SD, hence the need for the downconversion prior to capture.

Everything is setup properly (FCP: 525 capture, Kona Control Panel: 1080 in, 525 framebuffer, downconvert between the two) but for some reason it's not working properly -- I'm getting stuck frames instead of smooth video.
