Multibridge Extreme…

[Tom Bridges]

I’ll second this. We were told by Blackmagic on the 20th October that:

[Grant Petty] “Multibridge Extreme has been delayed and has not shipped yet. The good news is we are just about complete on this product, and think it’s only a week or two away at the most. We are starting to build production units today. However we want to make sure everything is well tested before shipping, so we expect another week of testing before everything is checked out.

I will let you know over the next week or two as the new PCIe versions of our products are released.”

I think that’s a pretty clear statement that the units would be shipping by the 10th November at the very latest. This clearly hasn’t happened. What irritates me more is that there’s a clear commitment to keep us informed, which has been reneged on. Posts by myself and others have been ignored in this forum.

We have – rashly I know – made a hardware investment by buying a Quad. This decision (2.7 vs Quad) was made on the basis of information supplied by Blackmagic. Yes, it was stupid of us, but when a company’s CEO goes on record, it’s not unreasonable to expect that the company can deliver on its promises.

I think we’d all appreciate some clarification as to what the situation with the Multibridge is, what’s gone wrong, and when we can expect shipping. After the first Multibridge debacle, I really didn’t expect something similar …

Thanks, Duane. I’d appreciate it.

Apparently the Kona LHe is due in this country here by the end of the week. We’ll be testing it, so I’ll let you know how it goes.

All the best,

Tom
