![]() ![]() I find the responsiveness of the AJA hardware superior both in jog and in darting around the timeline. It also allows very easy downmixing of the HD to SD with a very easy to understand software interface, allowing me to choose what favour of down mix I would like. Compare that to the Blackmagic which just unhelpfully comments “reference present”. The AJA software tells me the frame and line rate of the reference input and it also tells me what sort of display the outputs are connected to. I still however maintain that I prefer the thunderbolt AJA IOXT over the PCie Blackmagic Decklink Studio for several reasons: Blackmagic have finally improved their game and released a more stable driver which narrows the field a bit. Blackmagic were having serious problems in Pro Tools 11.1.2 (and below) with their drivers, whereas AJA were not. Which is Better For Pro Tools - Blackmagic or AJA?įrom some of my previous articles on video hardware, you will have noted that I have found that AJA hardware performs the best with Pro Tools 11 over and above the Blackmagic solutions. The no brainer was that Pro Tools 10 HD with a referenced Avid Mojo and a Sync HD was rock solid, but the surprise was that it was so accurate even when not using Avid MXF media. ![]() We also discovered that using a peripheral like the Avid Mojo, even un-referenced with video syncs and a sync HD, actually gave quite good sync. See my video here showing Syncheck 2 and Syncheck 3 Unless you have been living under a rock you will be aware now from my previous articles that desktop video in Pro Tools 10 is like a drunk fish on a bike as it meanders in and out of sync on a single pass, so should be avoided like the plague. ![]()
