[Avid-L2] Dump Nitris DX in favour of Decklink?

 

Currently I'm onlining and grading in Symphony 5.0 with a Nitris DX,
however I'm looking at moving to Symphony 6.0 very soon (need to test a few
more workflow things with our one-of-only-three-in-the-world EditShare
Geevs setup) and possibly/probably DaVinci Resolve (again some workflow
issues to test, with regard to timeframes etc).

To make Resolve useful I need to have a Decklink card of some sort in the
system - I suspect I can run it along side the Nitris, but do I need to?
We're not doing any Universal Mastering stuff, in fact the only actual
outputs I do are Standard Def downconversion for the broadcaster's promos
department - everything else leaves my suite as a file to be output
elsewhere...

So, should I try to run some sort of hybrid Nitris/Decklink system, or
should I just chuck the Nitris and go all out with the Decklink? Any reason
I shouldn't? Anything I don't know here? And, beyond various I/O options,
is there any reason to pick any given DeckLink model over another?
