No Communication

My new Mac Pro is here. It's running FCPS.

I installed an AJA Kona LHi card (slot 2) and hooked up one of my Sony A25 SX
decks to it.

Fired up Final Cut and opened "log and capture".

A/V come across no problem via a cable from the deck's SDI out to the card's SDI in.

The breakout cable that comes with the card is connected from card to RS 442 remote on the back of the deck.

No time code or no remote control of the deck. The message says "no communication".

AJA sent me another breakout cable - still no communication.

I purchased the optional breakout box for future use and routed everything though there, no luck.

After troubleshooting decks, my cables, uninstalling/reinstalling drivers and the card, and trying every relevant "device control" option, I'm thinking I have a bad multi pin input on the card.

Thoughts?

ps - Yes, the deck is in "remote".
