Regarding this vague reference to "Raster Independence" -- and the implied support for third party hardware in the future ...
It would seem that Avid's current versions of DX hardware (Nitris & Mojo) will probably be require a "refresh" to even be competitive with the capabilities of the current crop of third party hardware providers.
Correct me if I am mistaken, but while the Nitris DX is dual link capable (but not 3G) -- I have never heard mention of resolution support for anything over 1080p. I understand there is a FPGA in the mix -- but I am unaware if this is dedicated to internal "processing" -- or to I/O.
And, the Mojo DX, at its outrageous price point, is not even dual link capable (and I sincerely doubt it is 3G capable) -- and it has even less processing power (or card slots) than the Nitris DX.
Unless there's something about these devices that I don't know, which is certainly very possible, it would seem that the release of Version 6 may very well herald in a chapter where Avid's hardware solutions are the lowest performing options available.
And where those of us who supported the company and who *recently* purchased those hardware products -- will find ourselves, once again, behind the eight ball and needing to buy new hardware -- whether it's Avid's or a third party.
