Using EOS NOMAD dongle as Backup Console

I have a question about the new upcoming NOMAD dongle for EOS. I understand that the NOMAD 256 dongle only gives me a 1/2 universe if I use my laptop as the primary console, but what about using my laptop as a backup console to an ION assigned as the primary? Will having a backup console with only 256 outputs restrict the outputs of the primary too? 

It's crunch time for me since the Client Kit will be discontinuing soon and the 256 output restriction makes the NOMAD unusable as a portable in-the-house editor.

 

Thanks!

    I assume you currently have a Client dongle--In the future we will no longer be selling "Client Kits" as the new part will simply be Nomad 256. A client dongle today will give you the ability to still be a client as before, or be a primary/backup. As for how much it can back up, only 256 outputs. It basically would downgrade the Ion to 256 outputs of total backup.

    The nomad dongle still allows running the pc as a client with no restrictions on the primarys outputs, correct?
