Except that:

1) Smoke for Mac does not support BM

2) BM cards are sluggish with Avid and don’t properly support hardware release

3) My system just seems to like the AJA stuff better

I really love Resolve. But the other software I use is happier with AJA hardware.

Except the reason that Resolve exists IS selling Blackmagic cards, that’s the whole strategy from the get go.
They’ll never support AJA, even if they promised that long time ago. There are more chances for Smoke to support BM than Resolve on AJA.

But, if ADSK decides to include Lustre on Smoke for Mac, then the whole game changes.

Another possible scenario is Avid supporting higher resolution like 4K, then the Baselight plugin would make more sense as well.

Buy a Linux Resolve and use the DVS Atomx card.

Maybe this is more of a factor that some systems need their own box configured to run the app.

Yeah, I get all that but couldn’t they just charge me $2000 for resolve? That’s still a great price and they make more money than Resolve plus a decklink card. Just let a guy dream will ya?
