I have to say CS6 is very sluggish with Mac Decklink.

[Tom Daigon] “From my experience testing and using PrP CS6 there are only 1 kind of sequence that works with Adobe Transmit and third party capture cards and that is the regular Adobe sequence.Granted I use AJA which doesn’t have any AJA specific sequence anymore.”

must be a BMD thing.

have not been able to install CS 6 in my AJA based suite yet since my LHe
has been end of lifed and not supported 🙁

[Tom Daigon] ”
If you have the latest drivers for your BM device, Adobe Transmit (new to CS6) lets you use regular Adobe sequences from now on.You get great performance and CUDA if you have a graphics card that supports it.”

Thanks Tom,

That really seems to fix the playback issues. I guess Adobe is just using the Decklink as a monitoring I/O device without using the card for processing. Seems to work. Many thanks.

[Tom Daigon] ” why would you use the BM timeline when its unnecessary and prevents you from taking advantage of CUDA”

Funny, the one complaint I do NOT have about Decklink is that the quality of the display from the card WHEN it worked was always superior to anything I could get from the system’s native card and Adobe. I am using a CUDA-capable card, but Decklink-output always looked better on my EIZO 2441 monitor, at least via HDMI.

That said, I too have the pesky audio lag/dropout problem which never went away despite claims to the contrary. This is on a brand new X79-system with 16 gb of RAM, 9.5 drivers

Go figure.
