I know this post was solved but I prefer to write here rather than making a new post as this looks like the closest to my problem.
I'm having problems with MadMapper output. It drops a lot of frames. I'm sending my output from M8 through Syphon to MadMapper. I'm using PhotoJPEG footage which varies from very small (640x360) to relativley big (1280x720). In any case and for any size, the video is playbacked properly in M8, once on MadMapper in each panel (input, output and second display) the video is dropping loads of frames. The funny thing is that if I simply open any window from any program to cover MadMapper panels, the video is playing smoothly on my second diplay.
I'm pretty sure there's a simple explanation for this as I'm quite new to the software and I might have not chosen the right settings for my project or machine.
I'm using Modul8 2.6, MadMapper 1.1 on a MacBook Pro 2.5 GHz Core 2 Duo with OWC solid disk, 4 GB Ram 667 MHz DDR2, VRam 512.
My M8 settings are 2400x600 for Syphon output, preview ratio 4/1.
Any idea?
Thanks a lot to all the community and to the developer team for any possible suggestion to come!
