Re: [Avid-L2] Re: RED PAIN

Philip, I beleive Apple encourged every body to do their own L&T
that's why we waited so long for P2 support, this is more about RED
writing a driver for a new card, much in the same way BMD or AJA
would, but this is a bit more complicated in that the card has not
only to provide debayered 4K on the fly, but also supply RGB back to
FCP and this is the bit that I beleive Apple were helping them with.
It's not a big stretch from there to Assimilit to say, WTF "I thought
we had an agreement". Pure conjecture on my part.
