I kind of agree with this.
The problem is, Avid needs to make money, and right now it seems they need to push the hardware sales up. HEAT being a unique process only available for TDM/HDX customers so they must think that HEAT license price is too low to be offered for anyone. So they make it HDX only. That said; I do not have real information whether it would be even possible to run HEAT without DSP cards but that's another story.
What I don't get is that HD|native users are also left out even though they have paid top dollar for the HD interfaces and the HDN card. I would certainly understand if HEAT-native was available for HDN users only. But as HDN is unable to use HEAT it feels like it is not even a HD system (but only because I've used HEAT with my TDM cards "since day one" and have hard time thinking about mixing without it).
