also i believe i see 59.94 when i connect my latest mac mini to a screen using hmdi

and i believe my Kona LHi card shows non integer values including 29.97 for the hmdi output.

aja control panel image attached shows 29.97 on hdmi input and output- from my 5dMk2 camera... in NTSC mode
Sorry for the delay in getting to this post. I don't think i was clear. In the dvi parrot you cannot enter a non integer number. Does this mean that it will actually give you an integer refresh rate.. I suspect not. So to be clear you can type in 59 but not 59.94 when specifying a refresh rate. Even if you could I am not sure it would work. As to your hdmi stuff working thats good to know but as you certainly know we dont interface using hdmi all that often.. well at least I dont. Honestly I feel like the stupid guy in class or something haha. I cant tell if the reason I dont see more discussion of this topic is because not many people use catalyst this way or if I am just the only one that can't resolve this issue. I have never plugged into any device that can net me a refresh rate that will solve my jumpy video problem. What am I missing? haha.

On a side note I was curious if this issue is common among all servers or if this is perhaps a result of your desire to have exceedingly low latency and thus little or no use of a buffer or whatever it would take to make this a non issue.

I guess when you use video input like this in say an edit suite the edit suite buffers it or what not so that your view in the edit suit is smooth? I guess I should have kept taking those programming courses back in school so I could have all the answers... I hate not knowing
