Yes. If they were consistent, it would be manageable. But in my testing, I found different delays not only for different conversions, but separately for the same conversions. And as you well know, I refuse to use any system which is not 100% reliable. So that functionality was only good for monitoring, which is why it got used so infrequently that the IO Express was an easy replacement.

Did you find the hardware conversions unreliable due to the processing delay that would add frame(s) delays feeding to the record machine and through off edit timing etc...?

One of the reasons we aited so long to upgrade to Sierra was exactly because ATTO no longer writes drivers for the 4gig celerity cards. Finally 'bit the bullet' and picked up some surplus 8 gig cards, which are working great under Sierra. (10.11.6)( Eventually, someday, I'll have to retire the cheesegraters entirely, but I just could never justify buying trashcans. Which, apparantly, turns out to be a good instinct. Should probably start migrating to windows, actually... hurumph... )gh------------------------------ -------Greg HusonChiefSecret Headquarters, IncGreg (at) SecretHQ.com-------- Original Message --------

it might be an issue with the need for digitally signed drivers in current versions of OS X. This article is about getting a legacy ATTO card to work, but the concept may be applicable to the older Kona card.JayOn Apr 8, 2017, at 4:02 PM, Greg@...

Dang, that was a good card! Completely reliable - never any problems, and it doesn't have that stupid switch on the front like most of the AJA boxes.Is there a way to force OSx 10.11.6 to see the K3?I have a few spare IO Express boxes, so I could swap one of those in, but the K3 is so superior.gh------------------------------ -------Greg HusonChiefSecret Headquarters, IncGreg (at) SecretHQ.com
