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

PAL-topia. Nice. The place where we don't have to deal with pulldown. :)

Except, of course, when we have to remove it from masters that come
from pesky NTSC-land. :(

I have the same issue, for now we have two CPUs. When we get a little downtime, i'm going to experiment with having both devices in the same CPU... I already have a cubix expander... but I'm guessing it won't work. The expense of the extra CPU is worth the savings in hassle so far.
