Nexis uses a SAS connection.

Where are the media files located? Have you tried rebuilding the media databases?

You must provide more details about the crash, such as the task, computer specs, media type, etc.

Ahh, you are correct. An HDMI de-embedder will be needed then if you use the SPL controller. Maybe something like this? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1353753-REG/gefen_gtv_hdmi_2_hdmiaud_hdmi_to_hdmi_plus.html

We use an SDI de-embedder. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1077838-REG/apantac_da_sdi_de_sdi_audio_de_embedder.html I think they have a new 12G version.

We use this in 5.1 editing rooms. https://spl.audio/en/spl-produkt/smc/ And this for 7.1 https://spl.audio/en/spl-produkt/smc-7-1/ Sorry, I have no experience or knowledge about the Flex.

The short answer is no. It will not affect Avid since it can only utilize a single GPU.

The only solution I know is to disable the onboard GPU via BIOS.

Having the searchdb saved locally is the best solution. Though by default it is saved on the Nexis for any Nexis project, these files are not shared. Only the station that created them has access. If your server cannot handle the traffic, just set it to be saved locally. You will also get better performance if your local drive is an SSD.

The focus and/or depth of field is off. You can tell by looking at the button on her shirt. The dirt on the ground seems closer to focus. You can power window and add sharpening. It is probably better done in Resolve.
