  CS5 & LHi Playback Probs

  Posted by Robert Walker on November 11, 2010 at 9:26 pm

  On few years old MacPro, 32G Ram, with AJA LHi HDMI out to external monitor, I am getting long (1-3 seconds) of black video on external monitor immediately after color bars at start of first clip. After this blackout, playback will suddenly resume. Sure I could edit anyhow, but it makes me very uneasy that a 2 clip test project is doing this.

  AJA HD 1920x1080i Compressed sequence preset used
  Timeline was rendered, rendered clips reside on a RAID 5 array with good read speeds (180MB/s)
  Sound plays fine throughout.
  Playback on desktop continues although is choppy.
  Without render no black but playback is ~15fps
  Happens same in AJA Uncompressed sequence

  I am a long time FCP user testing out CS5 viability, but this is scaring me…. Ran into similar hiccups on another test project using AJA NTSC sequence settings- on that one certain straight cuts would cause playback to drop to black frames for short periods, again, after rendering so NO red bars anywhere on timeline.

  Help? Anyone using MAC/LHi/CS5 setup successfully?
