I'm with you! It would make much more sense to collapse the software differences, and allow people to pay more for faster/more robust scalable I/O options.
Best,

Subject: [Avid-L2] Re: Symphony owners?
Personally, I'm in the camp that says drop the product separation. Combine the
features of Symphony and Media Composer and sell one product as a software-only
system. Then sell the individual Avid hardware accordingly. So if someone
wanted, they could have a Symphony/Media Composer with a Kona 3 at some point
down the road. Or NitrisDX with AVC-Intra module.
I don't care if you call it Symphony or Media Composer - whichever has the
greatest brand appeal. The current reasons for keeping it separate are purely
artificial, because Avid can still find customers to pay a premium price. How
long will that last? Merge the two and then see if the market can support a new
high-end box. Maybe it can't or maybe that's DS. In either case, it isn't
Symphony without radical improvements.
