Re: Does This Kill The Mac Pro?

The AJA one is a bit better (in my opinion). Dual link/3G, pass through, HDMI, up-down-cross, etc and so forth:

Also, you could get something like this and attach a kona card to your thunderbolt mac:

I am sure with Thunderbolt 2 (or whatever it's called) and speeds get up over 4x PCIe, then the need for PCIe will dwindle, for now, Thunderbolt is a beginning.

So yes, the MacPro might go away at some point. I hop we get another few years of refreshes out of them yet so the technology can catch up a bit.
