[Avid-L2] Re: Avid embracing third party hardware?

I think AJA makes great products and the tech support is right out of the old GVG play book but I just can't back the statement, "Great technology, works perfectly"? I don't have a problem with "Great Technology" but works perfectly? Having to unplug the computer to drain the PCI buss to restore audio has been a common occurrence over the years. Driver and slot conflicts can cause headaches. It took me a long time to realize I had to manually terminate the sync input or it would lead to inconsistent genlock, granted this is now in the manual but it's only after months of troubleshooting did I find this out. No way to add pulldown and maintain proper cadence on output to tape is really messed up. On any insert edit back you get to spin the wheel of pull down at the edit point. Not so on Avid hardware. It will be interesting to see if and when AJA is on Avid if some of the problems will improve.
