Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Red Rocket Cine-X information

The DV option for Meridien was widely derided at the time, as it was
MIS-understood to merely add the FireWire I/O and software DV codec as
used then by FCP & Avid Xpress DV.

But at the time, neither FCP nor Xpress DV could do full-quality
effects in real-time via SOFTWARE. So if you were working in DV25 in
FCP, and for example had to super a network bug over a 2 hour movie,
you had to render the whole thing. But the DV option for Meridien put
HARDWARE codecs in the box and thus could output such a movie in
REALTIME.

I always thought Avid did a lousy job of explaining the rationale for
buying the DV option. They could have successfully sold a newsroom
workflow, based on lots of Xpress DV cutting stations, networked to a
few Meridien/DV realtime output stations.
