This IS the Avid L2: [Avid-L2] Re: When do we get bigger-than-HD in MC?

So what you are saying is DS really supports all these somewhat higher end workflows with DPX and resolution independence, I believe that's correct but I'm no DS expert. Would it be safe to say that if I were willing to get out of my symphony comfort zone and buckle down on the DS I could have access to a platform that would cope well in this arena? How much of a shock would the color correction in DS be for a staunch Symphony colorist? I know it's powerful but does it have any support for the relational color correction of the symphony workflow?
