Default DNxIV

So, this DNxIV cought my attention:
http://www.avidblogs.com/introducing...nxiv-ibc-2017/

"capture, monitor, and output SD, HD, 2K, UHD, and 4K content"

Wondering if it will off-load the CPU by hardware decoding DNxHR?
Will this cooperation AJA/Avid finally make the AVE 100% rock solid?
Will it work with NLA Video Slave? :P

This gets me excited and interested in adopting the Thunderbolt architecture.

There's no mention of hardware encoding or decoding, it seems the larger BM-based DNxIQ has DNxHR encoding built-in.

As for Video Slave, AJA interfaces will work, but I remember reading they're only supported up to HD resolutions. It's basically a re-badged one of these https://www.aja.com/products/io-4k-plus

I knew that looked familiar! Thanks for the link. If it is PT compatible (and most AJA interfaces are), that looks like a nice audio+video interface for a small edit/mix room.

The very page that was provided has a super-clear comparison table that says "Host CPU encode"and not "Hardware Encode".

I know, I was saying only the larger DNxIQ has hardware encoding.

Yeah I initially thought the TB3 was unique to the Avid version, then saw the updated AJA box!

Fyi I have a 4kio. It's a pretty loud box. It should be in a machine room.

I have the IOXT - runs very well on TB1 - not loud (although quite warm)
No 4K here thank you

works great with VSlave3 or the AVE

Well, if it hardware accelerates the video decoding, off-loading the CPU completely, I'd like to try UHD-like video when available - as long as it won't spin up any audible fans to do it. Also, my plan is to start using a separate machine or Video Slave player very soon so it shouldn't bog down my PT host.

Congrats on your two thousands post.
