    So, anything cool from BM ?
    Multilayer time-line ? OFX support ? Blend modes ?
    Would be cool to get something 🙂

    Word on the street (or Twitter) is that Blackmagic will be releasing something on Monday. No proof or hard facts, just what I’ve heard. I’ll be keeping a close eye on the website Monday morning 🙂

    I hope to see Revival for Mac and a Media Express with more supported codecs.

    BMD had more product releases at the show last year than any other company, in any facet of the industry. They were also really, really good products, most of which either started shipping right away, and all of them soon thereafter. They may even have been the only company to ship everything they announced! 🙂

    Anyway, their rollouts last year were flabbergasting, which is why we awarded the entire company the Creative COW Blue Ribbon Award.

    So yeah, count on quite a few announcements. The press conference is at 9:30 on Monday, and I imagine that the press releases will have hit just before that.

    Can they repeat last year’s performance. I’m certainly pulling for them, inasmuch as I want EVERY company to demolish my expectations, but even if not, count on something big.

    FWIW, I know that Grant is personally a fan of Revival. Last time I checked, Blackmagic’s post house in Singapore had two of them.

    And no, I’m not being cagey. Despite my best efforts, they’ve told me nothing. 🙂

    I don’t think PCI express will be obsolete until the new standard has taken over entirely. You can’t easily add a PCI card with TB. You will need a special chip in the computer to handle TB.

    If I’m mistaken, I blame Engadget for my faulty wisdom.

    Thunderbolt currently only has a fraction of the bandwidth of a 16X Pcie 2.0 slot. I believe it is only X4 which is not enough bandwidth for the fastest GFX cards.
