Patrick,
I would not suggest you use a powered hub. Plug the ThumbDV directly into the Pi.
The ThumbDV is very sensitive to power dips.
See this: <

Fore USB latency:
As root:
cat /sys/bus/usb-serial/devices/ttyUSB0/latency_timer
I expect it will return 16
Try this:
echo 1 > /sys/bus/usb-serial/devices/ttyUSB0/latency_timer
If that works, add:
echo 1 > /sys/bus/usb-serial/devices/ttyUSB0/latency_timer
to /etc/rc.local before the last line (exit 0)

Hi:
A while back, I saw something on this group to the affect of changing timing to make the ThumbDV+AMBEserver combo work better on a Raspberry Pi, but I can't find it now after searching the archives for an hour.
Note that I haven't set this up yet -- still waiting for dongles to arrive. They should be here tomorrow.
I have DVSwitch and ASL running in the cloud, and want to use AMBEserver on a remote Raspberry Pi 4 2GB instead of md380-emu. I'm using a 3.5A power supply on the Pi 4. I'd like to host two dongles for two different, completely unrelated connection points, each with it's own AMBEserver, of course. This is just a dongle host, and won't be running DVSwitch itself.
The Pi is running stock Raspbian.
What should be done in order to optimize things with this setup? Should I still use a powered USB hub, as some have suggested? What about timing?
Thanks and 73
