..as altenative to my intensity pro , i am testing a aja io express PCIe
in my 5.1 MacPro and run into few problems which let me think its maybe
a faulty unit :


System MacPro 5.1 , Ati5870 , HDX , Sonnett USB3 , Aja ( < slotOrder )
Symptom 1 : Aja initializes ONLY correct when i Press Power BEFORE the
MacPro starts
( i think the MacPro should start the Aja unit ,
at least LED is then ON , but no Aja Hardware detected from driver or PT
after Boot in Sierra when the Mac starts the Aja)

Symptom 2 : Aja Video out (VideoHardware activated in PT12.7.1HD)
initializes only after 20-30 sec after Session opening (regardless of
Codec , FPS and so on) and plays back fine then.

BTW opening PT without Session (AVE engaged) results in a
"corrupt" picture on HDMI out , since , it seems at least , PT AVE sends an 480i VideoFormat out , which the Aja doesnt support (maybe thats the culprit?)

Symptom 3
PT and Aja Control Panel doesnt release Aja Hardware after closing ,
only a ReBoot (look Symptom 1) helps then.

Maybe Hardware error ? , driver issues/settings?
(genlock is on Freerun )

any help appreciated
