Well, I'd say you could never determine final output quality of any camera/device thru YouTube. Perhaps someone will post a recording sample from these devices to get a better idea.

His TriCaster was running in 1080i59.94 as shown in the interface, the Spark could still be working in 1080p59.94, but would of been reformatted to the session format in the TriCaster. So the final recording/stream output would of been 30fps.

I had my first tests with the Spark HDMI and I experienced a delay around four frames compared to my Blackmagic Capture cards into vMix. Picture quality was ok, but not perfect. I will test further and give feedback in the forum.

Got my spark a couple of days ago, was hoping to use it on a multi camera sports shoot. I'm very disapointed with the lag, its enough (appears to be between a half to one second) that I can`t use it.

I wonder if my network router could be the problem?

I have never seen that much lag on my unit. 0.3 seconds is about as high as I saw. Testing the limits of the wifi. It was always lower on an Ethernet connection, but I expected that :)

Hi

if you want to go wireless, the best option is to avoid ad-hoc connections to your vMix host as well as wifi routers.

What you need is a dedicated access point that will be positionned cleverly for best performance.

Trying to connect to your host directly will result in very short distance capacity.
Using a wifi router (as opposed to a Wifi AP) will most certainly result in having a bad position for operation and most of those are far from reaching the best potential on Wifi.

Also don't expect to be able to use NDI/HX wirelessly over long distances. I believe you are lucky if it works reliably in high quality mode at 50m with a very good and dedicated AP.

Camera mount and USB power are big missing 😔
