HD Storm monitor switching time

[PaulTV]

I'm sure I saw a thread about this, but now can't find it, Edius 6.03 on Win 64 my system 1 as signature

Using the tab key or the mouse to switch from "source" to "record" monitor, my output switches almost immediatly, except sometimes. Then it gives me 3 seconds of black before it refreshes.

If I hit the tab key, I can switch 5 or 6 times in succession, then I get a 3 second black "wait"

This via HDMI, I'll check the composite too.

strange indeedy...

Maybe you should reinstall the hardware driver. Be sure to use the one that came with the 6.03 update.

You are correct Paul it has been talked about i had it on 6-6.02 still there in 6.03 3 seconds delay in switching. I have used all of Anrtons suggestions re tweaking Win 7
A serch on the word "delay will only show 1 reference but im shure it was mentioned in several threads

[PaulTV]

yep, my Spark appears fine, at least not too bad, time to sell the HD Storm and buy another Spark I guess.

I have no switching issues with either my Storm 3g or my NX.

[EraseAndRewind]

NX is switching very fast here also.

I first raised this issue and while it got fixed for most people, others with some chip-set boards weren't so lucky. For example, Intel 5400 chip-stet had problems that I think still exist. No idea why it would be random though, for me it was every time.

NX is switching very fast here also.

NX would be fine, it doesn't have HDMI which I presume is where the problem starts.

[PaulTV]

Yes, I think its the HDMI, random behaviour, when you guys say instant or very fast switching, do you still get a sync drop, or disturbance in the signal?

Shame GV hasn't been able to sort this out in the last couple of years or so... Canopus were the hardware kings I recall - Storm was soo good, perfect switching, no sync drop - clean as a whistle -

OK, I'll go to the feeder, and buy a new card, that is, I guess, the general idea!

there is no delay with my EDIUS SP or Storm 3G

Was only ever Spark/HDStorm. You even saw what the Spark did in your system yeah?.

yes, but now the Spark is fast as well with the latest version

Ok, I haven't tried with 6.03 Maybe the OP has old driver installed.

[PaulTV]

Hey Anton,

Don't really get this at all, it's sure the slowest response I've ever seen, and its oddly random, it switches quickly for a few cycles, then drops to no signal for 3 or 4 seconds - maybe its just a local bug - the machine is very clean, nothing else on board at all - could be the Ibis/HD Storm pcie card interupt etc, I'll look when there's a gap in the editing.

Yes, my Spark is fast too... All latest drivers....

Have installed new driver (incase install didnt update) and its the same
