Anything is possible, of course, but I suspect that Outlaw will stay with their tradition of being selective about "bells & whistles" and keeping prices as low as they can. A couple things that occur to me when looking at these Eastech designs: (1) there's no pricing tied to any of it, (2) there's no link to Outlaw yet, (3) Outlaw's previous Eastech-produced designs were all developed in a partnership between the two companies with Eastech refraining from releasing details until Outlaw was ready for them to do so, and (4) there are a lot of Eastech designs in existence that are not part of Outlaw's product line.

I would not be surprised to see Outlaw turn to Eastech to manufacture a successor to the 950 for release in the next 12 to 24 months (incorporating features from the 1070 like DVI switching and Pro Logic IIx), but I doubt that they would elect to simply pull an Eastech design off the shelf and slap an Outlaw logo on it. These PRO-970 units are almost certainly an evolution of the 950 design (hence the "970" naming), but that doesn't necessarily mean that it is a partnership with Outlaw. In fact, the description reads more like an OEM "here's the basics, change it up however you want" design - adjustable numbers of analog and digital inputs, unspecified number of video inputs, the option for THX certification, ...
