So as we see that there will be the new TB chipset implemented in the new mac pros. Three chips with two interfaces each. So every two IFs will share one chipset. The TB v2 will make it possible to give out a 4k signal plus a storage signal, what's with the current implementation not possible. So it will be also a question regarding bandwidth what you connect on which interface to get your desired performance when you want to do 4k, specialy when you want to work with uncompressed or RAW footage.
So yes, it would be great to have one of the awesome BlackMagic TB video interfaces with a HDMI 1.4 and a 3g/6g dual HD-SDI interface to be 4k fit.
As Pat stated, all the interfaces would be needed to put it into a professional surrounding. Displays, Video Interfaces, Storage Connection, 10GbE, RedRockets, etc...
So you could give Linux an additional chance. You did it with your High End Resolve Version, so please give us the chance with the Desktop Distros (Debian/Ubuntu). For all people which will be not satisfied with the way Apple goes, it would be a great alternative and would put Resolve at least on an additional, broader platform.
As said, Windows is not the alternative...
