Would you clarify? I think we are still just talking about DNxHD decoding and raster scaling, with some optimization for when these functions occur in the pipeline. Right?
Right now I can do 5 or 6 streams of DNxHD145 with 2D PIP in yellow-green on MC Soft on an 8-core MP. I've gotten colse to this in software-only and with Mojo DX at full resolution using a 1Beyond 4-core laptop.
When I've done testing with the Nitris DX (which admittedly has been a while at this point), I got maximum benefit with all one codec and raster format. The minute I started mixing thick and thin rasters, HDV and DNxHD, SD and HD - all on the same timeline - performance advantages of Nitris DX seemed to diminish.
I'm not staying there's nothing happening, simply that it's overpriced. Avid has never been able to clearly market the advantages or even to show basic performance benchmarks with and without their hardware.
