I'm surprised I hadn't heard of this limited capability. If I read this correctly 10 bit media can't be captured via HDSDI. Given it says it can play 10 bit with the Codec boards disabled I assume that means you could output 10 bit to tape. I guess the codec board limitations are more for HDSDI routes but file based would be unaffected. Anybody using Trash can and NitrisDX with these limitation? Here's from the link:
The below table illustrates what features are not supported, and what features require the hardware codec boards to be disabled, when connected to a Mac Pro via Thunderbolt™2.
Media Format Feature Not Supported Feature Requires Hardware Codecs to be Disabled 10 bit, Any Compression Capture Play 10 bit Uncompressed Capture 10 bit RGB 444 Capture, Play 8 bit Stereoscopic, Any Compression Capture Play 8 bit Full Stereoscopic Uncompressed Capture, Play 10 bit Full Stereoscopic, Any Compression Capture, Play
"Any Compression" includes DNxHD, AVC-I, XAVC, ProRes, J2K, and others

Subject: Re: [Avid-L2] MC 7.0.4.3 buggy behaviorAnother vote for Media Encoder is its ability to handle RGB or 709 source files without issue. Squeeze is a bit more temperamental with that, just have to be more careful.I use both, each when the occasion calls for its particular strengths. Media Encoder is faster overall, and always looks great without fudging with gamma or other settings. Squeeze gives access to far more intricate parameters which need attention for great encodes, is a bit slower serially, but can parallel process multiple files and save lots of time if you have them.Squeeze: pretty fast, can easily crunch multiple files at once per processor.Media Encoder: extremely fast, but can only crunch multiple versions per file at once, otherwise serial process.On Thu, Apr 9, 2015 at 6:24 PM, Dave Hogan mactvman@...[Avid-L2] <Avid-L2@yahoogroups.com> wrote:I throw in another vote for Sorenson Squeeze. It does a great job, you can tweak it for performance/quality, and it is still tons faster than Compressor or QuickTime. I like X264 encoder much more than Main Concept, both of which are a choice in Squeeze. Cannot comment on Media Encoder, never used it.And most of you already have a license copy from when you bought your AVID.For cooking high quality files when time is not an issue, I really like free and open source Handbrake. It cooks great reduced size files of my favorite Blu-Ray rips, which I can travel with and watch on my laptop.Dave HoganBurbank, CAAvid uses the Quicktime engine when you export. That really is ancient technology.
