OHCI and Edius 5

[GrassValley_BH]

OHCI lag has been overcome in some NLE's by injecting a timeline lag.

Yeah, but that's not necessarily accurate, just like using the graphics card for preview output. Close, but if you need exact, you need the appropriate tool for the job.

sounds like my plan would work.

If only they'd make one for Expresscard/34 slots...

My new laptop comes with a built in eSATA II port plus a Express card slot, so a express card one would be perfect, total portable solution.

If you monitor audio and video from OCHI you'll be fine.

Don't expect to monitor video from OCHI and audio from your soundcard (or vice-versa).

Canopus would rather sell you a card (and I'd rather buy one) for monitoring. If only they'd make one for Expresscard/34 slots... laptops would be smokin' good!

now I'm a bit confused. My expected process would be to input as HQ, edit on an HQ timeline, and output via OHCI (firewire) to a firewire capable deck or DVD player and then to a monitor...Will I experience a lag between audio and video (out of sync) playback on the monitor in this configuration? Or will I have to rely on computer screen playback for in-sync audio & video playback?

[Rusty]

When you say Sync I assume you are referring to audio/video.
1) PC monitor/soundcard are perfect.
2) Firewire audio/video are synced.
OCHI timeline lag is probably still there, so don't expect to combine the two.

Not really an Edius problem, it's an OCHI problem.

[Tobe]

SD is OK for monitoring, as long as it's in sync.

[Rusty]

OCHI is 100% rock-solid.
Sound from sound card is perfect.
Don't expect any improvements on monitoring through OCHI... it's still SD.

I am getting closer to a new system and Edius 5 upgrade. Is anyone out there using Edius 5 only with OHCI? If so, how are you monitoring it for playback with good sync from Edius HQ projects?

In HD, there is nothing but GV cards.
The tiny card : HDspark will be the cheapest (12/2008).
