Dave tries out the new DS1054Z firmware from Rigol that is supposed to fix the 5us delay jitter issue, and the AC Trigger Coupling jitter issues. Have they fixed it, or is there still a problem? What caused the 5us jitter issues to begin with, Dave also investigates the ADC PLL based sample clock with an e-Field probe and the Rigol DSA815 spectrum analyser. Did Rigol also change the PLL coefficients? Previous video HERE ADF4360 PLL datasheet Forum HERE

Dave tests a really high end NVIDIA GTX-970 video card for accelerated CUDA GPU video rendering with Sony Movie Studio (Vegas) & also Adobe Premiere. Will it work for the new high frame rate video ? Will it work at all? How about a Radeon HD7850 and OpenCL? Does the CODEC matter ? Does hard drive or SSD performance matter ? This also provides some insight into how Dave edits and renders his videos. NOTE: This is mostly trying out and real time commentary of testing video rendering speed. If you find this stuff boring then DON’T WATCH IT. There is no electronics content here, but plenty of main channel viewers might find it interesting. Forum HERE
