Will a ST2110 virtual Video/Audio device be developed.

Ok,
ST2110 is an interesting technology. Like with Dante, there is no reason a PC/Mac cannot have a virtual SDI video card that pushes the Data out as ST2110 over a generic ethernet card. (10GBe, 25, 100)
So, technically, a Monitor with a ST2110 to SDI/HDMI into the Monitor, and resolve, using a virtual video device could then push the image to any screen on a 10gBE network.
i.e. basically like we do today with Dante virtual device software for Mac/PC.
Will Blackmagic be releasing a virtual video/audio driver that can talk to the ST2110 devices?
This is of course a sensitive subject as it negates the need for the SDI/HDMI card that Blackmagic sells.
So, it is not a good idea for such a piece of software to exist as it cannibalises those products BMD sells.
But then again, BMD ST2110 is supposed to be based on open standards and anyone could technically make that software.
So I am keen to hear BMDs thoughts on this and if they will release a virtual device.
