"I understand your concern. But you have to understand that we could have never known in 2008 that Apple (or any other CPU vendor) would develop a Computer that would not interface with Nitris DX. Apple does not disclose technical specifications before they release a product, we pretty much learn about these things like you do. A redesign is impossible but we will continue to search for a solution, but it's not looking good, we have done a significant amount of testing and engineering to find a solution.
You need to evaluate all of the options available to you if you choose to upgrade your CPU's. That's the best answer I can give you. As a side note, FCP 7 does not work on the new MacPro's does it?"
Dave, thanks for your frankness. I spoke with Bob Russo in Dec., and he lamented that Avid did not even have a new mac pro to bang on (Apple would not provide one.) No doubt you've tried the few TBolt-PCIe products out there. I DO understand Apple dealt you – and everyone – a real curve ball. My personal systems are PC-based, but the school is very much mac-minded.
This helps me know where we need to go HW-wise. And you are correct, FCP7 is a no-go on the new mac pros, but I've been pushing to stop our support for FCP7 next year, as it's apparently not going to rise from its grave ;>) and Premiere is close enough.
