Playhead response Lag while using Ultrastudio 3G

Hi!

I recently upgraded to a Mac Studio and had to purchase a Blackmagic UltraStudio Mini Monitor 3G to run playback to a client monitor.

 

Upon installing today, I immediately noticed that the playhead response in Premiere Pro lags about 6 frames when STOPPING the playhead (NOT STARTING).

 

I double checked that I wasn't crazy, by toggling playback to the UltraStudio off and on. And when it is OFF, the playhead responds properly.

 

Does anyone know what might be causing this lag?

 

(And for the record, I did not have this problem when using the previous UltraStudio Mini Monitor. This just began today when I installed the 3G version.)

 

Thanks!

Hey PS,

How are your speakers connected? I found that speaker location and system configuration can make a difference. Check your Audio prefs, as well. Does adjusting any of those settings make any difference, for example, Automatch? I am not sure if there are latency settings in your BMD settings, but have a look at those too.

 

Thanks,
Kevin
