Mike, you're missing my point. Why four analog outs? Why not two? Why not 6 or 8? What would anyone ever need four analog outputs for? Really, I'm curious, which scenarios ask for that?
And no, the setups I talk about mostly have their machines in the machine room. Sure, some of those went from ABVB to Meridien to DNA to DX, so they had their cabling since back in the day. A lot of them use more than two outputs. Some of them work with split outs (dialog, music, sfx), some monitor 5.1.
Sure, it can be solved by getting $DI-di$emebber$. But Avid and BMD present a box that has more than 2ch of analog outputs, but not enough to monitor 5.1. That, in 2015, baffles me. 2 would be a limitation more easily defendable. But 4?! And why 4 analog rather than two pairs of AES? At least 2 pairs of AES could provide 192K compatibility. If you move to 192K now, you have one channel of AES I/O on this box. And what about the optical audio and the RCA inputs, who needs to those, who would need them if you had a proper amount of balanced analog and AES I/O's? Cannot get my head around it. In spite of your embedded audio argument.

Pretty much ever facility house (not tv station) i see has embedded audio over sdi split at the display with analogue from that into a mackie or behringer and on to the speakers. Generally its a BMD or AJA miniconverter.
I'm guessing the facilities that use the analogue outs put the computer in the suite?
