![]() Sadly we were having so much fun we forgot to video the test results, so you will have to take our word for how well it did. However we noticed that each play pass had a higher variation in latency than the T-Tap with the variance between half a frame or so behind to a quarter of a frame ahead. The steady state playback was very solid and similar to the AJA T-Tap. By the third of the flash/blips it was solid, with only the occasional wiggle or perturbation of around a few 1/100's of a frame. We noticed that the Blackmagic Mini Monitor slews into sync on this particular set up. Results Of The Blackmagic Mini Monitor On Windows We also measured the LED HD monitor for completeness. We had his DeckLink Mini Monitor running with a 6qf of Pro Tools video delay compensation to compensate for latency on the projector. For video duties he runs an Epson LCD HD projector and HD LED screen. He runs Pro Tools HD 11.3.2 on Windows 7 Pro (SP1) and runs PT HD on non-Avid hardware - a RME Fireface 802, connected via USB (as recommended by RME when using with Windows) and Alan's Blackmagic Mini Monitor is the pci-e DeckLink version.Īlan runs all his media runs off SSDs, and so doesn't use the RAM cache. Testing The Blackmagic Mini Monitor On Windowsįor the Windows test I went over to 8dB Sound, run by fellow PTE team member Alan Sallabank, to his new post production surround studio in leafy Chingford, North East London.Īlan runs a custom PC with an i7 5700 6 core processor, 16GB DDR4 ram, NVidia GTX 660Ti Gfx. All measurement duties (to 1/100 of a PAL video frame) were taken care of by my Harkwood Services Sync-One2 as with the T-Tap tests. I also wanted to test the BM Mini Monitor on both the Windows and Mac platforms to see if there is any difference. It's a very similar diminutive size similar to the T-Tap and just like the AJA T-Tap, no video references are required. The Ultrastudio Mini Monitor (USMM) has a Thunderbolt connector on one end and a BNC SDI and a mini HDMI at the other end. I have been loaned a Blackmagic UltraStudio Mini Monitor (thunderbolt to SDI/HDMI) portable video monitor by friend of PTE, David Yorath to undertake these tests. Today we are going to look at the Blackmagic UltraStudio Mini Monitor and see how that performs. You can see the tests and results for the AJA T-Tap in my Review & Test: AJA T-TAP - Professional Thunderbolt Portable Video Monitoring. Playback on desktop AS WELL AS out the video peripheral. To release the need to transcode media - any media was playable. To release the dependancy upon Avid media (MXF) for accurate sync - as the QT engine was no longer in use. When Pro Tools 11 arrived, the new AVE promised to do serval exciting new things: This is good basic engineering practice and is still the perceived wisdom of the day. The randomness between audio starting and video starting (as audio would be timed to start on the frame edge boundaries) between each play pass.Īny drift or meandering during a single play pass (like desktop video in Pro Tools 10) as the audio and video are both resolved to frame pulses. This practice would reduce two important things: Conventional WisdomĬonventional wisdom was that if you wanted accurate sync between picture and audio, your Pro Tools must be clocked to the same video reference (via the Sync peripheral) as your video I/O interface (Mojo or Blackmagic). ![]() Read on to learn more about the best credit monitoring services to track your credit rating and protect from fraud.Back in July I tested the AJA T-Tap with Pro Tools to see if a small simple diminutive box could meet the needs of audio professionals needing to work to picture.
