As you know, I am Eli the computer guy, and today we're going to be doing a review of the deck link Quad A T M I A recorder from black Magic design.

And if you're asking, Yes, I do love my new Mac Pro now, Now that I got it working properly now that I got a good P c i e video encoder card in it.

But anyways, we're gonna be talking about this thing today.

So the reason that I purchased the Mac pro A lot of people give me crap about it.

But just so that you understand is because of my particular workflow.

So the way that I create my content is, I actually have all of my video devices connected to my system.

The video is then recorded directly onto the storage of whatever computer that I'm using.

I didn't just pump this into final cut, chop some things up and exported.

So a lot of people who do a video content creation they recorded directly onto a camera.

They input that into whatever computer they're using, and they go from there.

But the thing is, for me, what's very important is actually being able to get all of those individual video inputs connected to a computer at one time.

The only problem with the I Mac Pro is the The peripherals are limited to you.

Be three type A connections and that's it.

So when the Mac pro came out, I was really excited because I wanted the ability to have P C i e expansion for for my video inputs, right?

So basically again with the eye Mac pro if all of the reports were used for video, could theoretically only get about eight video inputs.

Local part is, if you get a macro with all those PC I'II slots, you get a lot of video inputs.

My plan at the end of the day, probably after about a year.

I actually want to get something like eight or 12 inputs going into my computer so I can have all kinds of different sources coming into my computer.

And so as I as I switch around shots, I just click buttons and get those additional shots and make life a lot easier s.

So the reason I brought the Black Magic one of these things called Definitely quad Etienne.

My recorder is because this this allows for 4 80 m my inputs and theoretically allows for up to four K 60 frames per second and put on all those four.

One of the reasons why I purchased this before I purchase the major well is because this does four K 60 frames per second and only cost about $550.

Well, so this particular card again Quad HD M I only goes up to 10.

80 p 60 frames per second and costing $900.

So basically this was, you know, less than 2/3 or whatever the cost of this, and I was thinking about it.

I don't need a lot of the fancy features.

I don't need a lot of fancy functionality.

So if Black Magic works, I'll just go with that.

I used to use their A T M a television studio for years on again that, to be clear, that was a good product for the time of user other video encoding devices.

As Time's gone by and it's all been, it gets, it's quirky.

It's quirky for its time period, but it hasn't been too bad.

My experience with this, though, with the deck link left, left a bit to be desired.

So the cool thing about this is this actually does take four K, so I couldn't actually test this at four case 60 Fran per second, but I could test it at four K 30 frames per second.

And one of things that I will say is this does do four case.

You can have four four K inputs, at least 30 frames for a second.

And to be clear, the four K images look beautiful.

I was so happy because basically, you know, I put this in.

Oh, for a couple of minutes for a couple of minutes.

It works so much better than I was ever expected.

Image quality, image quality for this thumbs up films up for image quality.

I started doing my videos, and then what I found was that with Wire Castle with Mac pro and wire cast, it would start dropping frames.

And then when this started dropping frames, the synchronization between the video and the audio would become Maur and Maura and Maur and more and more and more.

So I went in a wire casted only little trouble shooting stuff went into wire cast tweak some stuff, constrained bit rates, did some other things.

But in the weird part was even when I did that, even I constrain the bit rate.

Um, audio and video would stay in sync longer, longer, but not in sync.

So So I do these these these very long daily block shows.

Basically, when I go on the daily Blub, I'm doing things like testing products.

And I'll do it for hours and hours and hours.

I might do a two hour video over there in the Daily Blob.

And one of things that I found is when I started doing those live streams in the Daily Blob with this audio and video would be in sync.

You go to, like the two hour mark and It's off sink again.

It's off kilter, and I went through when I adjusted everything, and basically it was just being a complete pain in the butt.

This very fair, expensive Mac pro here, This isn't doing what it's supposed to.

So as as a realize T professionals realize a professional one.

The questions I had to ask is, Is this a Mac pro problem?
