NOTES:
  • Content is played back at 30 fps and 60 fps as outlined in the video codec above.

  • All HD codecs listed above have an output resolution relevant to Full-HD (1920 x 1080).

  • All UHD codecs listed above have an output resolution relevant to 4K DCI (4096 x 2160).

  • One codec and frame rate tested per track.

  • One unique video file per layer.

  • One LED screen per resolution tested (Full-HD and DCI 4k)

  • The test machine is run as an actor with its GUI disabled.

  • Absolute maximum level of performance. One more layer means that the system will start to drop frames.

  • Measured against rx.x, build xxxxxx.

Capture Latency

The following table provides data on how many frames of latency the vx 4+ requires from capture to output:

vx 4+ 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
