Pro Tools HD 11.3.1 and Video playback
Hi everyone,
I am trying to achieve a stable, responsive video playback from my PT rigs. At this moment, it seems it isn't possible. Am I missing something? Here's my setup: Mac Pro 5.1, 12-core, 3-something GHz, 32 GB Ram. Mac OS 10.9.5 2x HDX card 2x Madi I/O, 1x 8X8X8 I/O Blackmagic Decklink 4K extreme SYNC HD Pro Tools HD 11.3.1 What is the best (or at least, working) OS / Desktop video combo at this moment? Thanks in advance Branko |

I work with a similar setup but with Decklink Studio cards, same drivers I guess. Video is stable, although we mostly work in SD, using video encoded in PROres from AVID Media Composers. What exactly are you experiencing?

I always keep our PT systems on the lowest compatible Mac OS. Our PT10 TDM rigs run more happily with 10.6.7 than with 10.8.5 (although for some reasons, like Source Connect, 10.8.5 is needed). The other thing is the BM drivers; every 10.x version I tried did something wrong, so I always reverted to 9.x, which is what I'm still using on our HDX2 system, similar to your setup (PT11.3.1, 2010 Westmere Mac but OS10.8.5), although it's the simpler Intensity Pro card. Greetings, Thierry

Re: Pro Tools HD 11.3.1 and Video playback
Thank you all for your suggestions, they pointed to the right direction - I started experimenting with various BM Desktop Video versions and finally found the v. 10.2.2 to be very stable and glitch - free, at least on my system. The video speed is now stable and there's no pause between hitting "play" and the actual beginning of playback.

I find a lot has to do with the video codecs. Prores and h264 work well

Re: Pro Tools HD 11.3.1 and Video playback
...also the graphics card may be an issue , the gt120 often
used in 4.1 and 5.1 macpros is known (at least for me) to be problematic , ati 5770 and 5870 ( same age) or better a newer one , are much better.
