This was a big red flag for me at the show. And when I asked about it, multiple reps confirmed that the DNXiO drivers would be written by, and be the responsibility of, Blackmagic Design.
When I questioned the logic of this approach, given the dismal historical performance of BMD drivers, I was told that Avid would not let their flagship IO product have those kind of problems.

If it is native (not Open I/O) and drivers are written by Avid, I just don't see us migrating to AJA or Blackmagic. Even the best AJA drivers are not as stable and well integrated as Avid's Nitris DX with Media Composer.
