Aja vs Blackmagic - current state of play in Pro Tools on Catalina/new Mac Pro
I decided not to hijack the other thread and start a new one, as this is a slightly different question.
For video playback in Pro Tools (not Video Slave), what is the current opinion on drivers from Aja vs BM? For years, I've read nothing but horror stories with BM drivers wreaking havoc, having to play the driver roulette game and keep rolling back until a working driver was found, etc. I am speccing out a new Atmos premix room: new Mac Pro, HD Native, MTRX Studio, DAPS (no separate RMU) and am trying to decide on a video peripheral. I would prefer to go PCIe, will use video playback from within Pro Tools, and will most likely have house tri-level sync and a syncHD, so a video peripheral with Vid Ref is needed. Thanks!

For almost all workflows it's not really needed nowadays anyway. |

Thanks for the response, though. I know that overall sync without video ref can be pretty reliable these days, but I want to have one room (my room ) with an absolutely rock solid sync ref.

On the drivers front, both BM and AJA are very stable these days. |
