I purchased the HyperDeck mainly as a playback device for live concerts and would like to use the Prores codec, however it just doesn't seem to want to have smooth playback. I have tested both the Prores and Prores HQ codecs, at 1080p60 and 720p60, however in all cases the video will play back fine for the first ~4 seconds, then start freezing and skipping. This happens in the same spot of the video each time.
My first idea was that the SSDs didn't have the bandwidth to play back the video, but I tested them with Blackmagic's speed test software and they maxed out both the read and write meters at ~450MBps. I am using Premiere CS6 to render out the video for playback on Yosemite. When I rendered out the video in uncompressed Quicktime, the video played back perfectly fine on the HyperDeck. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this problem?
