Mini Pro Video Lag

PostWed Jun 14, 2017 10:02 pm

Is there a way to eliminate the video lag time on any of the monitors? When shooting an action sequence with quick pans, the lag is way too noticeable and distracting for the operator and focus puller.

Thanks

Nope, the SDI output has about a 2-3 frame delay.

I can say for Scott, but I experience a very notiable lag on the built in screen.

Thats great! Are you also planning on improving the audio delay or implementing the option to either monitor the audio input signal without delay or the audio signal after it runs through the processing like "off tape monitoring"?

I second this. This would really complete the audio for me on the Mini Pro. You guys did an outstanding job improving the pre-amp in the Mini Pro.
