Re: 3rd Monitor Choice / Audio for Picture
Quote:
The video playback is separate from the Pro Tools/Mac/Windows UI. There's never a risk of moving the video window or having a mouse drift across the frame while clients are in the room. ADDITIONAL benefits: -Playback is smoother and tighter than it is on the desktop UI. -Your TV is actually running at the frame rate of the video. -You can mult the signal (such as an ADR booth, etc.) with standard issue HDMI or SDI hardware. I emailed AJA and asked why the T-Tap is not listed as being Pro Tools compatible. Turns out that Avid changed the compatibility guidelines to only include devices that are capable of external genlock. Having tested the T-Tap many times with SynCheck, I've come to the conclusion that it's plenty tight, and that genlock isn't necessary for most of my workflows.

Re: 3rd Monitor Choice / Audio for Picture
Thanks! Sounds great and like a good value for the money.
On my current setup i'm experiencing the video on a 4k TV (connected directly to a Mac 6.1 D-300 via HDMI) being a little bit unsync, so that i put he "Video Sync Offset" on PT to around 20 quarter frames. Do you think the T-Tab could help here?

Re: 3rd Monitor Choice / Audio for Picture
No, actually i don't need a 4k resolution. It's just, that it is now the display being installed in my edit suite. :-/
Do you have a tip of how measure the exact amount of offset, since the "catchin' sync" App does not seem to available in the german app store?

https://sync-one2.harkwood.co.uk Without hardware or an app, you could download the Sync One 2 videos and then shoot your system with an iPhone set to high frame rate recording. Drag that into a video editor and put it under the scope. Make sense? It won't do everything that Sync One 2 will do, but it will at least get your system tighter. I'm not a video technician, but I believe that's how TV stations used to do it.

Re: 3rd Monitor Choice / Audio for Picture
Yes, filming your system and closely checking in a video editing tool, is pretty much the same thing like the catchin sync app does. Good idea! Thank you.

Re: 3rd Monitor Choice / Audio for Picture
What also seems to work, is taking a photo from the print in TC in video Refference and the TC counter on PT Main Screen while it runs. It doesn't allow you to measure sub-frame differences, but you'll be able to get quite close.
