    Have had to resort to drivers 5.6.2 to cure BM frame inaccuracy on Edit to Tape. At random output would be one frame out.
    Restart computer and it might hit it, might not. This has happened on 3 separate machines so far.
    Can you please post when this problem is fixed?

    We get this one too, the in point is perfect but somewhere in the first minute it drops a frame and everything else is a frame late. We have 5 bays and all of them have done it at one stage or other, sometimes consistently (in which case we just start the bars a frame early, by the slate it’s correct on tape, forget about insert edits though), sometimes completely random, however long the layoff it’s always exactly one frame off.
    Anyone know why this happens? We first noticed it on the first generation decklink cards.
