Disclaimer

There is not gurantee this will work on Debian systems as DaVinci was aimed at CentOS and it has caused alot of issues because of this fact so there is no 100% chance it will work. If it does then everything will be fantastic. If not then there isnt much that can be done as Black Magic Design will not be offering support.
