At work I bounce between a circa 2009 NitrisDX and my DNxIO. I haven't really noticed any difference in responsiveness in my finishing work. There are certain technical behaviors the differ between the two IOs regarding Safe Color Limit Effect parameters which I've posted about but that's not related to responsiveness. I also had some output anomalies with regards to running in 4K projects and switching between NitrisDX and DNxIO and how the Quadlink output would go weird unless I trashed MC state. I thought that was the solution but then I think it also related to user settings. I've had a few hiccups with older user setting and BM hardware/video desktop that effect the video output in strange ways and sometimes there is no output. Not sure what causes this in general but the solution I was given at a freelance gig was to quit avid then relaunch and while in the project window create a new user there, not once you launched the project. That seemed to work and I could then switch to my old settings and as long as I switched back to this newly created user before quitting things worked okay.
The strangeness on my work system when switch hardware does not happen on my home system so there's more stuff. Both are MacPro OS 10.9.5 running MC 8.5.3. Again this is a side issue but something to consider with the 3rd party hardware.

Has anyone ever compared MC responsiveness with different IO options? Currently on Nitris DX, but do have the impression that a software-only system responds more swiftly when scrolling through media etc. Wondering if anyone ever compared Nitris DX to DNxIO, AJA, BMD, BlueFish.
And while we're at it: anyone here using BlueFish hardware? Seems like the most rigid option available. Would love to hear your thoughts.
