  Multibridge Extreme delay

  Posted by Igor Litviak on November 17, 2005 at 11:00 am

  What is the value of Multibridge Extreme delay?
  Is it same on all ports and any direction of conversion or not?

  Hi Igor,

  The delay is almost nothing as the hardware is designed not to delay the signal at any stage. At most there could under a line of delay between input and output and it should be more like a few pixels rather than a line.

  The only exception to this would be DVI-D monitoring. If you input video at a frame rate which your LCD monitor does not support natively, then Multibridge Exteme will need to perform pulldown processing to adapt the video for the display and this will cause a delay but no more than about 1 field. Some (more expensive) LCD monitors support more native frame rates and so there is no delay in displaying those formats.
