Max Field Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 So a year ago my main workhorse was the Atomos Samurai Blade SDI recorder. Every now and then I would turn it certain ways to use as a reference monitor and noticed the motions of my hands had significantly more latency than the regular LCD screen built into the camera (Sony F3 at the time) Had a few hunches on what the issue could be so I guess pick a number? Or I'm a total idiot and none of the above? 1. Cheaper recording monitors have more latency 2. When monitors are primed to record they'll inherently have more latency 3. The SDI output of the camera will always have significantly more latency than any built-in viewing references 4. Something is mechanically broken/set up wrong Thanks to everyone who is smarter than me at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Young Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Do you notice any latency during both recording and monitoring from the Atomos? If so, I'd chock it up to #1. If just during recording, then #2. ? I haven't noticed any latency issues on Atomos, though. I've used them for years and the Ninja V is definitely their best one so far. The Samurai Blade is one of their older models, so I wouldn't be surprised if it has latency issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
