HD 8x8x8 I/O with Tbolt and fw800 for PT9
How about making an 8x8x8 i/o with thunderbolt and fw800 that will work with PT9 without the need for hd cards - good for the project studio who already has a monitor controller

Hi Avid, I would like an AVID PT9 native interface for tracking that takes all of the best features from the 003, HD omni and RME UFX. Apart from the obvious good features in the above it needs to have: clock, monitoring and conversion as in the AVID HD boxes 18 i/o like the 003 but with an adat that supports up to at least 96k (so I can add external converters such as AVID HD 8x8x8 or Aurora 8.

Hi Avid,
I would like an AVID PT9 native interface for tracking that takes all of the best features from the 003, HD omni and RME UFX.
Apart from the obvious good features in the above it needs to have:
clock, monitoring and conversion as in the AVID HD boxes
18 i/o like the 003 but with an adat that supports up to at least 96k (so I can add external converters such as AVID HD 8x8x8 or Aurora 8. Two channels of SPDIF so can add API AD2D - Note all of these must be able to run at the same time not a max 8inputs like the omni. AES as well
a remote control option like the UFX but with more options, mute, dim, mono, volume control, monitor switch and talk back
4 HD standard pre's and 4 balanced line in's so can add 4 of my own pre's. The xlr inputs for the pres should be on the back like on the 003 - having them on the front is not very clean for the studio - if you need two on the front have dual access ports so you can access from the back too
thunderbolt (TB) connectivity - wan't to use an imac, pro tower is way to expensive
If you make this and at a price that matches the UFX you will clean up - I think it would suit the needs of every project studio and then if they go down the line of adding the HD i/o as adat they will eventually go HD
one final thing, it would be nice if when your next native interface does eventually come out that there will be the option of trading in the 003.
Please include all these features when designing your TB interface or I think you will loose all of your project studio clients to the UFX-TB option which RME will make. I know it will be a little bit of time before the TB comes out but when it does if these options are not there you will loose everyone on the hardware front to the competitors since PT is now native
