Question for the specialists.
I read on UE forums that for LED outputs on multiple machines, or tracked camera’s one needs for example the RTX A6000 series with extra genlock card.
But does that also count when using the UE project in Aximmetry DE broadcast, Genlock the input card, camera’s, tracked units, and use the SDI output with sync activated? Isn’t then the UE synced too for rendering frames?
Main purpose would be for green screen and tracked camera’s. Also want to be prepared for mixed with LED. But investing in overly expensive RTX A6000 series cards just to have extra genlock on the GPU (and less performance then the RTX4090) is an upgrade I want to avoid.
Thanks for your input.
Hi!
Genlock on the video out is only for driving LED walls. Greenscreen ends in software (the live comp) and so no further downstream devices need sync. We do our Greenscreen work this way (OptiTrack + Panasonic BGH1 in genlock)
You're right that the A6000 is less performant than the 4090; we've got one for ML/DeepFake work but aren't prepared to pay AUD$14k for the Ada-generation 6000 card which gets closer to 4090 performance.
You may find that even monetarily, getting the 4090 now for Greenscreen work is the best move and then if there's a LED wall in your future then you'll need to factor in that $14k + ~$3k for the Quadro Sync II board. This way you get the top end performance right away and the costly graduation to LED can factor in all the extra costs.
...at least that's our plan!
