Two very basic questions
This is for an article I’m writing so forgive these basic questions- can’t find the answers anywhere:
What does Avid DS stand for? Discreet Smoke or something else.
What does DNxHD stand for? Or does it not stand for anything?thanks in advance for the help,

DS originally stood for “Digital Studio”. I think for a while now it’s just DS. Isn’t meant to mean anything.
DNxHD is probably a similar thing, it stands for DNxHD. If you want to break it down. The “HD” part is obvious. the DNx? When the Adrenaline and original Mojo came out Avid started identifying their hardware as DNA, Digital Nonlinear Accelerator, even though it didn’t really accelerate anything. The board that allows HD in the Adrenaline is the DNxcell.
Take what you will from that. I think mostly what it represents is a technology company that let the marketing department become more powerful than design and engineering.

This is good to know. I figured the meaning was lost in time.
