Later today Avid confirmed the closure of DS on a conference call, “Since 2008-2209 we have tried to move people towards Avid DS but the business just hasn’t been there.” Users were not happy of course. The product hardware being discontinued for a month or so in June, and the software is EOL as of Sept. 30th, 2013 for sales, with service contracts continuing until June 30, 2014. There will be a v11.1 final version released, this week.

Passing it along.
