[Craig Seeman] ”
Just to be clear, my stretched tangent is that the $3000 Power Box becomes a $5000 purchase given the two Thunderbolt monitors needed/desired. It’s part of my thinking in how Apple might make the Power Box into something a bit more viable for them as far as locking the creative pro into an Apple ecosystem.”

I didn’t read the whole thread so apologies if I missed something vital, but I don’t see how you get locked into Apple’s monitors since ThB isn’t Apple exclusive and ThB doubles as a Display Port.

So far, the only Thunderbolt monitor I know of is Apple’s.
Stick a display port monitor in there and you’ve lost the pass through.

Since non-Apple computers are just now coming out w/ThB I’m sure it will take a year or so for non-Apple monitors to get to market.

As long as display port terminates the loop I thought it could be ThB up until that point. So you couldn’t loop thru a monitor using display port but you could end at a monitor using display port.

I’d expect so too. We’ll have to see what happens as Acer, Asus, Lenovo bring their Thunderbolt computers to market.

The only obvious problem would be the inconvenience having to disconnect the monitor if there were things in front of it in the chain you wanted to remove. There’s also the issue of many TB devices not having pass through so in many cases that’s not possible such as with Blackmagic or Matrox Video I/O. AJA IO XT has pass through.

[Neil Goodman] “6.0.1 is the last update from Avid, and if there own forums are any indication its not 100 percent stable, id say more like 75 percent if that. “

All I can say is that I’m running FCP X and Symphony 6.0.1 and the Avid software is way more stable and reliable than FCP X at this point. I am running both in software-only configurations.

Agreed. Multiple ThB ports would make sense on all of Apple’s computers (w/the exception of the Air). Bye-bye FW800?

Doesn’t that LaCie hub kinda solve this?

If you have a one to many hub, how important is loop through any more?

Granted, it requires power, but at such low levels, that I can’t believe that the market won’t enable a battery powered hub that can do this.

The LaCie TBolt hub is for eSATA devices. TBolt can’t be split by a hub. It needs a single line like SCSI.
