Maybe something like a player, like in Fusion could be useful ? not sure, so if you render a sequence to say your raid, and it is viewing on the Decklink, there are play, step forward etc controls that will play the render out right from the write node.
Just a thought.

Feel free to send a request to support if real-time playback is important to you, though - the more people who want it, the higher priority the fix, after all. I'd always wanted to spend time making it faster myself, but we just didn't have the opportunity back then. Turning on monitor output also means a few viewer optimisations, such as GPU processing, have to be turned off, so that means things will generally be a bit slower in that case. The reason for that is because we need the final processed data to send to the monitor output card from the CPU rather than the GPU. Sorry that's not the best news, but hopefully it's useful to know. - Chris On 22/03/11 08:48, Johan Boije wrote: > Also - if we are talking external monitor - the viewer's gl buffer > depth setting will be linked to performance as higher bith depths will > be slower to process.
