[MIKEROPHONICS]

Cedar are currently running a cross-grade scheme for hardware to get on the DNS One software platform. For all the reasons mentioned by mgoorevich, I heartily recommend checking this out.
The DNS One is on every DIAL channel in my template, so I can track freeze to my heart's content. Split outs of PFX for M&E's is therefore a doddle. Think of the time saving.....The days of hardware are numbered IMHO.
And remember too that Cedar never charge for software updates - you buy into the best (as you know from your hardware) for life. Jolly nice people too!
