Let's hope that we can bring that latency down a bit...
here is some more info on that:weckmuller wrote:When you say blackmagic work with less latency wich hardware are you refering to? Or is it the same measurament across the whole product range for capture cards?

The U-Tap works great when used for laptop input (websites, and powerer point) but I really haven't seen such a bad delay as this before. (Could be due to a Windows update, but It's highly unlikely)
I switched to the Black Magic Ultrastudio and everything went back to normal.
2 Questions:
Who would be the appropriate person to talk/work with about getting the latency on the U-Tap down to the same as BMD? Would that be an AJA issue, Or a Resolume issue?
Out of BMD and Magwell, Which one seems to have the smallest amount of latency? If I can't get the U-tap down, I'll most likely sell to get a better device.
I really liked this device in regards to running cool and ease of use, but until I ran a live feed through it, I really didn't expect it to act so poorly. We use a TON of AJA converters in the broadcast rooms we support and have never seen an AJA product act so poorly.
If there's anything I can do to help troubleshoot, let me know. My computer and device are yours to use.
I would not recommend Magewell.Magewell
Magewell is a Chinese company that makes very popular capture devices, and they work in Resolume via DirectShow on PC or AVFoundation on Mac.
We'd love to add native support for Magewell devices. Unfortunately, Magewell does not have a single SDK that works on all their devices, and we cannot add native support until they do.
