Has anyone measured latency of the SDI version vs the HDMI version on the same camera? Curious if the SDI version has significantly less delay.
Asked by: Thomas
No it does not. the delay from the camera to the Newtek Spark is almost non existent when compared to the delay that happens when converting a video signal to be sent across a network and the bandwidth limitations of said network. If you purchased both the SDI and HDMI versions and hooked them up to a cameras on the same network you should experience the same delay.
