Hey Guys,
I had some downtime today so I thought I would create a small benchmark thread for input devices.
This is being made to compare Resolume 5 with Resolume 6. I benchmarked everything on both versions so we can compare performance.
Here are the devices I tested with:
Black Magic Ultrastudio SDI
AJA U-Tap SDI
Magewell SDI 4K Plus
NDI (Direct PC to PC)
The 2 computers I used were:
2017 Razer Blade (GTX 1060), Running a single layer at 140+ fps
2015 HP crap i5 Laptop with integrated Intel HD GPU, Running a single layer at 33 fps
Both PC's had their screens AND composition set to 720p.
All the input devices were configured for 720p@60
I was coming out of my PC's HDMI port into a Black Magic HDMI to SDI Micro Converter for all of these tests.
Here are the results:
Resolume 5:
AJA U-Tap SDI - 7 Frame Delay
Black Magic Ultrastudio SDI - 4 Frame Delay
Magewell SDI 4K Plus - 4 Frame Delay
NDI - 22 Frame Delay
Resolume 6:
AJA U-Tap SDI - 4 Frame Delay
Black Magic Ultrastudio SDI - 4-6 Frame Delay
Magewell SDI 4K Plus - 4 Frame Delay
NDI - 7-10 Frame Delay
I didn't test with Spout as there really isn't that many applications developed for it as there is Syphon, And I don't use OSX anymore.
All of these tests were done in Arena, with no background applications running at the moment of testing.
What I would like to see, is some more benchmarks added to this thread.
Here are a few devices I had in mind:
Syphon/Spout
Datapath Input Devices
Black Magic Decklink Input Devices
Black Magic Mini Recorder
If anyone has some of these devices (or any other input devices you would like to add to the list), and has the time to do some benchmarks, I would love to see how everything is stacking up in version 6 from version 5.
I'm really impressed with the improved performance with the AJA U-Tap. Well done guys!
