Hi everybody,

From time to time this has come up under various threads.
Martin has given recommendations/advice how to minimize. I have debated with our vMix supplier in Europe.

And, to be honest, I gave up trying - we were unable to achieve anything consistently lower than 4 PAL frames (6 fully loaded).
As a result - I made the decision only to ever use the unit as a broadcaster - never as an Imag device, much as I wanted to.

Recently, I have witnessed two events done by other companies where the perceptible latency was extreme.
One event I recorded on my phone and looked at it in the office on an editor, where I found a latency of 6 - 7 frames.
This one was being mixed on a monster Tricaster, which I'm aware has latency - but I thought the bigger ones had 1 frame ?

!!

So - again - I ask the question "What exactly IS acceptable Imag Latency ??"
We always worked in the 3 frame domain - 4 depending on situation, but 6 ?? Never ....

But maybe we're being unrealistic (?!)

Interested in comments.

Cheers,

Pete
