  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Avid Epic Audio now supported

I can confirm it works in Symphony Nitris 6.0.1 on a Mac. A good development, though RedColor3 and RedGamma3 are just around the corner (any day now!)

Any idea whether 6.0.1 works with AJA Kona? I haven't seen any updates on AJA's site.

It does. I am using it right now. originally the Kona 3 was not going to be supported, but somewhere along the line that changed. It was only going to be Kona 3G. Kona is working well. I have an occasional hiccup that I think is Kona hardware related but overall it does work and I have to say seems a bit snappier than the black magic card I have.

I have not had a chance to test Epic audio yet.

can someone confirm how playback is with epic footage if you don't have rocket installed??? is it really useable at all working directly with the native files?

Rocket doesn't affect playback. Only rendering/transcoding. My system is kind of old at this point, so I can't speak to what the performance on a new mac would be but by throwing it in draft mode you should get decent playback on a new system. I still prefer offline/online workflow. Red One R3Ds play very smooth in Avid from my testing. I might bring some Scarlet footage in and test with that.

Hi Steve,
redrocket transcoding all formats (prores,uncompressed,dnxhd,...) or just xdcam?


thanks

Hey Steve -can you work with other formats beyond 1080P with the Kona -i.e. 2k projects or does the Symphony/MC software lock it at 1080 like it does with the Nitris? I've been sticking with my Nitris DX box for I/O but I do have a Kona3 card and the K3 box but haven't jumped in yet.

Also, does the Kona play nice with DNxcel files? I read some of the documentation from Avid about hardware limitations and certain codecs don't seem to work, but they don't list them.

With MC, only able to work up to 1080 at the moment.
In terms of codec compatibility, I have been mainly focusing on DNxHD codecs and they have worked pretty well with the Kona 3.
