Stated and explained many times over that the limitation is AVB.

Now why Avid would lock this into AVB is another question, but equally fruitless asking. It is what it is.

As noted ----yes Mac only, because of the AVB ethernet connection.

The odd thing is that S6L runs AVB protocol with Windows Embedded(if I correctly understand it) so it should be possible to come up with a Windows driver to make this work. Is there nobody tinkering with that?(I would guess not, but it sure would be nice.....)

The S6L uses RTX64, a real-time layer that sits alongside Windows. I imagine their AVB driver is running inside that rather than Windows itself. Supporting this on end-user systems would likely be expensive and complicated (as opposed to macOS where AVB is built-in).

Given you are speaking "Professional Task" would seem to me

Solution #1 if you want the Carbon get a Mac and install Parallel Desktop for Mac
Solution #2 keep your PC and get a Mac for audio video work

bing bang bong. Done
