I say:
The hardware unit has two built-in power supplies. There would be no point in providing two power cords unless they connect to two separate built-in PS's:
Power supply | Two built-in international AC power supplies with IEC C14 inlet (120–240V, 50–60 Hz) |
Mr. Curren:

I point out:
Artist has realtime hardware up/down/cross conversion:
Down conversion | Built-in, high-quality hardware down conversion—Ultra HD to 1080 HD, or HD to SD on SDI B and SD on Component and NTSC/PAL; switch analog video to Component and choose HD or SD output; selectable between letterbox, anamorphic 16:9, and center cut 4:3 styles |
Up conversion | Built-in, high-quality hardware up conversion—SD to 720 HD or 1080 HD on playback; selectable between 4:3 pillarbox, 14:9 pillarbox, and 16:9 zoom; HD outputs via HD-SDI, HDMI, and component analog |
Cross conversion | Built-in, high-quality hardware cross conversion—720p to 1080i and 1080i to 720p on playback |
Other hardware conversion | Colorspace conversion |
Since Artist provides 2K, 4K, and UHD resolutions, it wins over Nitris DX which cannot handle these resolutions at all. Artist's biggest limitation at the moment seems to be its lack of analog audio inputs and outputs as there is no way to monitor more than 4 analog channels of audio without additional external hardware (HDMI & SDI can accommodate up to 16 channels of imbedded audio in and out).
