Maybe Kona can not fully support HD XDCAM 1080 24p footage?

Is anyone certain BlackMagic/Deck link on a MAC PRO TOWER
using HD XDCAM 1080 24p footage will output realtime footage
to a second monitor/plasma while playing back realtime on the
desktop and realtime multicam on the desktop?

I really dont know about multicam. Never used it.

Here is a question. When using the Kona and a blackmagic hdlink playing the audio through line out of the computer, is the sound syncd to the desktop of the hdlink? There is a slight difference and critical music edits are tricky! Not sure which one to go for!

Before I buy a Black Magic Card:

Nate, one last time wanting to reconfirm if the BlackMagic HD Card on a MAC PRO TOWER using HD XDCAM 1080 24p footage will output realtime footage
to a second monitor/plasma while playing back realtime on the
desktop and realtime multicam on the desktop?

Yes, it does. I don't have a Mac Pro, just a dual 2.0 G5, but it would work.

I can confirm that you will get real-time on a Macpro with a BM card. I recommend at least 2 Gig of ram, preferably 4Gig.

Kona LH installation

Hi:

Sorry to jump into your thread but I have a brand new Kona LH waiting to be installed in a Mac G5 dual and I have a newbie question regarding its coexistance with the Mac's AGP Ati Radeon graphics card. Simply put, can I leave the the Ati in the G5 to be used for Photoshop and similar software and install the Kona for, at the present time, FCP 5.1.2 video (JVC HD-250U) capture and an eventual additional composite monitor?
Thank you for your patience and assistance,
Ron

cards

you leave the ATI in (assuming we are talking the original, single graphics card, not a second additional card) and add the Kona elsewhere. They serve entirely different functions.

Kona and Ati

Hi Mike:

Thank you for your reply and yes, I was referring to the single Ati Radeon AGP graphics card. The Kona manual seemed to imply that any other muli-media card should be removed to avoid conflict and I really didn't know if one would classifiy the AGP card as multimedia.

Thanks again for your reply, you saved me from further weekend angst,
Ron

Got the Blackmagic Card and it does the realtime 23.98P playback.
Of course if not fully rendered (even with a green line in the timeline) the quality of playback is poor.

When doing a multicam edit I can't seem to get realtime playback
of the selected angles out of the blackmagic card.

Is there some special settings to do this?
