Review Summary

2016-08-11T11:22:11

Rated 4 out of 5

Works, requires parts

First off, -1 star for lacking IEC power cable. Who makes a device and doesn't include the power cord these days? I mean, I have dozens of them lying around somewhere, but I had to go find one. So yes, minus 1 star. (the box doesn't even include provisions for storing one, so I suspect it's intentional) After that, though, this box is pretty good. It works like it's supposed to, but like all Blackmagic devices it introduces a 700ms delay to both video and audio on passthrough (expected, hoped otherwise). I'm also tethered to my computer with a Thunderbolt 2 optical cable going into a Thunderbolt 3 adapter. Works flawlessly.
