Blackmagic Forum

Using the CUDA example in version 1.1 of the Black Magic RAW SDK, the delay between the ReadComplete callback and ProcessComplete is at 10-15 seconds the first time a frame is decoded. Every frame after that seems to run easily in real time. Is this normal behavior? That's a huge delay for a user trying to deal with many clips.

This is on Windows 7, with a GTX1080i and CUDA 8.0

Hi Hans,

Yes there will be some delay as the GPU decoder is dynamically loaded. This will nominally be a few seconds, but I wouldn't expect 10-15 seconds.

If multiple clips share the same IBlackmagicRaw interface, then the delay will only occur when reading the first clip.
