DS and Mistika’s toolsets have much in common although DS doesn’t come close in terms of performance.

A setup where computer and a video I/O board act as a scope is too big, consumes too much power and there are too many chains in the link and opportunities to corrupt the signal.

I have posted your question on DS Google list. I think there was a discussion there several weeks ago. Search Google groups “DS”

Let’s see what else they roll out. It’s premature to jump to conclusions. Also the comparisons with Kona 3 and FCP need to take into account other factors.
Just yesterday I was troubleshooting an odd audio problem in FCP for a client who was livid because as he claimed something like that would never happen on an Avid.
Most of the editors I work with always complain about little glitches and issues they face when working in FCP. When you’re in a bay with a client working on a facility level this stuff costs you money. I’m not saying there aren’t problems with Avids too but it’s a more stable platform for what it’s designed to do.

I had prices listed in my article https://www.hdhead.com/?p=139 but there is some talk that Avid asked users at the L.A. pre-NAB event not to talk about them so I removed them from the article. In all honesty I don’t remember they asked that and neither do some other people who attended.
They didn’t really reveal all the prices and the Avid staff on the floor seemed to have little information.
Anyway, the price points that we did find out are much lower than they used to be. You will find out on Monday.

That’s correct about the rewriting of the software. My understanding is that the hardware still plays integral part in achieving much of the real time performance. Otherwise MC software only would be just as good as MC on Nitris DX. Or maybe it is just as good?

Also, if you are using an outboard downconverter like Terranex, it will eat up more of your budget to downconvert all the dailies prior to editing.
On the other hand, you can also downconvert straight from the VTR.
