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

You loose most of the symphony universal features- like, I think, adding pulldown on the fly to SD output from 23.98- so it sounds like you ARE using universal mastering features!! 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.

We have a symphony 6 on Kona 3 and it doesn't have all the features of the nitris.
