vx 2 Performance

Playback [confirm latency tables- SDI or NDI?]

Performance specifications listed here outline the maximum amount of video layers that are achievable on a single vx 2. These can fluctuate in future releases.

 

Benchmarks - Video Layers (Full HD)
Video Codec Content Data Rate (MB/s) Max Layers on vx 2
HAP 30 29.54 60
HAPQ 30 58.43 38
Animation 30 178.63 13
NotchLC 30 74.74 29
Benchmarks - Video Layers (4k DCI)
Video Codec Content Data Rate (MB/s) Max Layers on vx 2
HAP 30 125.93 21
HAPQ 30 249.23 10
Animation 30 761.27 3
NotchLC 30 316.34 8
DPX Sequence, 8-bit, RGB, 30 759 3
DPX Sequence, 8-bit, RGB, 60 1518 1

 

NOTES:
  • All content is 30 fps, with the exception of DPX Sequence, 8-bit, RGB, 60.

  • Readings are taken from an actor machine.

  • VFC-compatible machines run with pass-through style cards (HDMI or DP).

  • 60Hz project.

  • Genlock/framelock applied when supported.

  • One unique video file per layer, all mapped onto one screen.

  • All videos used are the same video of the specified data rate.

  • One more layer means the actor starts to drop frames.

  • Measured on r17.5, Build 74443.

Capture Latency

The following table provides data on how many frames of latency the VX 2+ requires from capture to output:

vx 2 SDI
Refresh Rate Normal mode (frames) Low Latency mode (frames) Ultra-Low Latency (frames)
60Hz 5 4 3
50Hz 5 4 3
30Hz 5 4 3
