![]() Memory Controller : Intel Xeon (Broadwell-E) Target Address/Thermal/RAS 100MHz Memory Controller : Intel Xeon (Broadwell-E) Memory Controller 0 - Target Address/Thermal/RAS 100MHz, 2x 16GB DIMM DDR4 2.4GHz 128-bit Memory Controller : Intel Xeon (Broadwell-E) DMI2 100MHz Thanks for any help that can be provided. Does anyone have any idea why the I/O and Sync are not being detected? I have read several posts where people claim it should work but I am getting no recognition at all. The I/O and Sync devices do not appear to be detected. I have tested the HDX card and it appears to be working with no errors on DigiTest. I also have a Digilink license that is on an ilok usb drive which is plugged into the computer. The units are plugged in and appear to be working. I have the Blue 192 I/O connected to the HDX card at the primary port and the Sync hooked up via a serial cable. Think of a sync HD as an insurance premium you don't like to pay for it but when you need it your sure glad you got it.I am experimenting with Pro Tools 2022.6 and am trying to set it up using a Windows PC, AVID HDX card, Blue 192 I/O, and Blue 192 Sync. Then you have to align it yourself and you gotta really trust the audio/video sync on your system to do that. I would never mix a film without a SYNC HD because from my experience editors will often try to align audio on their own and then you're stuck with out of sync audio with picture. I mix with and without SYNC HD all the time usually with no problems. So although it is cheaper, you're going to have problems. Would not recommend they are "supported" but in my experience and others, that's a bit a white lie because their software sucks. And yes, Blackmagic drivers for ProTools systems suck. What you also want is an application called Catchin' Sync for your iPhone. This can make a difference if your trying to align audio to picture and vice versa. With it, you won't get that variance or jitter. ![]() I mean, the newer ProTools will give you sync accurate 1-2 quarter frames.maybe less. I think Mike Thorton did a test with this in a blog post you might want to search for. Without, you get jitter meaning your sync will be variable within a quarter of a frame or so. You can go without but the edges of your frames won't be locked and perfectly aligned. ![]() That is why there can be a variance of audio-video sync upon each start of play (without a syncHD).īasically, you get much more accurate picture frame edges if you use Tri-sync with a Gen 10 sync generator and a SYNC HD. Some people insist that they are always in perfect sync with a T-Tap, or their desktop monitors, or whatever, but without a SyncHD there is no mechanism by which Pro Tools can see exactly where the video frame edges are in time, and thus cannot accurately place its audio samples to line up. If you will accept audio-video sync that is repeatable only within roughly 1/4 to 1/2 video frame each time playback begins, you can do that without the expense of a syncHD, and frankly without any video card. If you want audio-video sync that is repeatable within a few audio samples each time playback begins, you need a syncHD and video reference to both both it and your video card. I would assume that YOU want to do better than them! If they are always a frame out of sync, they did not properly measure or adjust for the particular video display. I've been in audio studios where they have got the HD Sync yet they are monitoring on a large HD screen which I know to be nearly a frame out anyway so is it really worth the extra 2k for that extra few milliseconds of accuracy? I understand that the HD Sync gives you better frame accuracy but what I can't understand is why a system costing 10k needs another 2k worth of hardware to get it accurate? It's an audio system, surely if should be accurate by default? I've been in audio studios where they have got the HD Sync yet they are monitoring on a large HD screen which I know to be nearly a frame out anyway so is it really worth the extra 2k for that extra few milliseconds of accuracy? I have also been quoted for an Avid Sync HD and Blackmagic Decklink 4k and was wondering what is the exact purpose of is and if it is a requirement? All of our work will be file based (36 DNxHD), mainly 30sec TVCs, radio and possibly the odd bit of longform. We are also getting the S3 controller and dock. We are looking at installing Pro Tools HD Native PCIe + HD Omni system on Windows 10 (i'm a PC guy). I feel like a bit of an outsider as I'm actually a video guy setting up a post house with audio facilities, as yet we have not found ourselves an audio engineer so setting up the audio studio has fallen on me.
