Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I've noticed a lot of latency when recording mic inputs directly into Fairlight. Will this aid specifically with use cases like scratch FPO audio or ADR sessions and needing to hear the rest of the tracks in time with the recorded input?

A: Yes, the Blackmagic Design Fairlight PCIe Audio Accelerator should improve mic input latency in Fairlight.

Q: 2. Will this de-embed audio on SDI 1080p59.94?

A: Yes, the Blackmagic Design SDI to Audio Mini Converter will de-embed audio on SDI 1080p59.94.

Q: 3. I would like to derive audio wordclock from HDMI. My ADC will accept AES as wordclock. Can I use this with CONVMBHS24K6G "HDMI to SDI 6G Mini Converter" to embed silent audio (perhaps from unconnected analog inputs?) and then extract the silence to use as wordclock with this device?

A: I'm not sure if it is necessary to feed silent audio but you certainly can. If there is no audio on an SDI track the AES audio out will be silent.

Q: 4. Where can I watch a tutorial on this Blackmagic Design Fairlight Console Audio Editor?

A: As of today, Blackmagic Design hasn't released any tutorial videos for the Fairlight Console Audio Editor.
