AJA Kona LHI does not work with Protools
Hi
Today I installed a used Aja Kona LHI Z OEM in my MacPro Mid 2010 to replace BMD Intesity Pro After installing software driver 14.0.1 the system shows the test pattern. So basically there should verything ok I thougt. When I load ProTools 2018.1 it seems to find aja because the test pattern goes away and the screen gets black. But protools does not play video out and it is very slow to scroll. I can open the aja control panel from within protools so this is proof that the card is seen. It doesnt matter what I change in the control panel or what i change in protools video output track. The video does does not play out to hdmi Playing DNXHD36 CODEC (what worked with BMD) I reinstalled the firmware from the controlpanel but this had no effect. aja device test was good but system report says WARNING: PCI Flash needs reprogramming Hardware ID : KONA LHi (0x10266400) S/N O0N91422 XLR Breakout Cable VideoProc Bit file : 2012/05/21 15:25:30 LHi Main Driver Version : 14.0.1, Interface 9 NTV2 SDK Version : 14.0.1 PCI Flash : 2012/05/21 15:25:30 WARNING: PCI Flash needs reprogramming Now I also found that ajaTV or aja control roomdoes not play any videos So I have no idea what could be wrong. Any ideas? Thanks Ale Using OSX Sierra 10.12.6 and ProTools 2018.1 with dnxhd36 video

Re: AJA Kona LHI does not work with Protools
I have zero problems with DNxHD video and the AJA T-Tap, but I do run into videos with frame sizes that won't play out the T-Tap. Before giving up, try 720p vs 1080p, ProRes 720p and 1080p, etc.

Re: AJA Kona LHI does not work with Protools
My first reaction is that the card you are trying to use is a PC OEM version.
That's why it's asking to be "reprogramed". I suggest you contact Aja's fantastic support. Here is a link: https://www.aja.com/support/contact They should get you up and running.

Re: AJA Kona LHI does not work with Protools
What's the frame rate of the video you're testing? I just installed an LHi in my PC, and it works perfectly. BUT, I learned from AJA support (yes, they are great) that HDMI can only handle 29.97. So I've picked up an SDI-to-HDMI converter to handle 23.98 and 24 fps video and will switch to the SDI output. Haven't had a chance to test it yet.

One thought: have you tried to place the card in other PCIe slot? I remember at the very beginning my card was going off line for 2 seconds and then coming back. Changing slo brought the resolution.

Could be an AJA limitation. HDMI can do all the formats for sure (like you noticed with your SDI-HDMI converter).
