Hi Mads! Thank you so much for your reply. I don’t think I can connect the speakers to the headphone jack as in order to get Avid to playback on the Samsung TV, it engages the Blackmagic Intensity card and basically has to playback audio through the Blackmagic as well. I’ve heard the latest Avid update allows you to choose to playback audio from another source, but that the sync drifts significantly so it’s not worth it.
I haven’t yet bought the Genelec speakers, but I’m planning to in the next few days. Do you think passive speakers are the way forward instead? I remember I once connected a pair of passive speakers with an amp to the Blackmagic. An amp takes up a lot of desk space though and I feel is unnecessary. Would something like the Genelec 8010 AP M-Control help? Regardless of the volume control, I’d just be happy to connect the speakers to the Blackmagic somehow. By breakout box do you mean the Blackmagic Audio to SDI?
