Activating and Deactivating I/O Hardware n The editing application includes a hardware toggle button in the Timeline. This allows you to switch between hardware and software editing modes. The hardware toggle button appears in the Timeline if I/O hardware is attached when you launch the editing application. This includes Avid Nitris DX and Mojo DX hardware and 3rd party Open I/O hardware. This allows you to enable and disable the hardware for use with other software, for example After Effects. This also allows you to access certain software only features such as Full Screen Play. The editing application will automatically release the hardware if you switch to another application. It will be reactivated when you switch back to the editing application. 13

14 Changed in v6.0.3 and v Activating and Deactivating I/O Hardware If the Toggle Hardware button is enabled, the I/O hardware is active. If the Toggle Hardware button is disabled, the I/O hardware is inactive. To activate the I/O hardware: t Click the Toggle Hardware button until it is active. The button is gray when hardware is active. This puts the editing application in Hardware mode. To deactivate the I/O hardware: t Click the Toggle button until it is inactive. The button has a red circle and line through it when inactive. This puts the editing application in Software mode. n Certain settings and buttons in the editing application change depending upon which mode you are in. For example, the Toggle Client Monitor button is disabled when the editing application is in Software mode. And you have access to additional Audio Project Output, Video Input and Video Output options when the editing application is in Hardware mode. The I/O third party vendors are working on updating their plugins to work with the Toggle Hardware feature. Your current third party plugins will work properly with this version of the editing application, but if you try and use the Toggle Hardware button without updated plugins, you might need to reboot the system to reacquire your hardware. Audio Punch-In Changes This release incorporates the following Audio Punch-In change: Audio Punch-In Support for Open I/O Devices If your Open I/O device allows you to record and play simultaneously, you can perform an Audio Punch-In. Check with your 3rd party vendor to see if they support simultaneous record and play.

15 Changed in v6.0.3 and v On - allows for IN to OUT audio monitoring during audio punch-in. Off - turns off IN to OUT audio monitoring during audio punch-in. When monitoring is off, the icon in the Punch-In tool changes to indicate punch in monitoring is off. For example, this mode is useful when you want to use another device such as the Mbox to provide local passthrough. Automatic - Allows the editing application to detect if monitoring should be On or Off due to detected latency. Monitoring is not disabled if latency <100ms. If the editing application detects latency >100ms, monitoring is turned off. Note: You can choose to override this by setting the monitoring to On. In some hardware configurations, audio monitoring during Punch-In will not be allowed at all because the hardware does not support it. In this case, the Punch-In tool indicates the monitoring is Off and you cannot override it. Audio Tool Icon Change The icon to open the Audio Tool from within the Capture tool and the Audio Punch-In tool has been updated. The new icon to open the Audio Tool resemble audio meters.. Bin Name Length Change In previous releases, you could not exceed 27 characters when naming a bin. With this release, the bin name can be up to 64 characters.

28 Fixed in Media Composer v6.0.1, Symphony v6.0.1, and NewsCutter v Bug Number: UDevC Attic files were not being deleted after the maximum number of files was reached. The maximum attic files number is set in the Bin Settings window. If you have a project attic that is over the maximum setting by a small number of files, the next time you perform a save after installing this patch, the excess attic files will be deleted (oldest files first) and a thermometer will appear showing the deletion progress. If you have a project attic that is significantly over the maximum files setting, the next time your perform a save after installing this patch, the editing application will rename the existing project attic with a OLD name and a new project attic will be created. A dialog will be displayed stating that the attic has been renamed and lists the path to the renamed folder. Customers are responsible for verifying the contents of the OLD attic folder and for deleting it to free up disk space. The newly created project attic will adhere to the maximum setting in the Bin Settings window. The settings affect the file count for project-level attics. The overall Avid Attic can be significantly higher, depending on the number of projects stored on the system. Note that these settings are per project and not for the entire attic folder. The entire Attic folder has multiple projects. Option Maximum files in a project s attic Max versions of a file in the attic Description Defines the maximum number of files stored in the Avid Attic folder for each project. When a bin or script is saved, your Avid editing application copies the current version of the bin or script to a subfolder within the special folder called the Avid Attic. Each project has its own subfolder and each bin or script saved in a project has its own subfolder within the project folder. The default is 1000 files per project. The overall file count for the entire Avid Attic will reflect the files stored for each project on the system. Defines the maximum number of single-bin or script copies stored in a project's attic. This setting prevents filling the project's attic with too many versions of one bin or script. The default is 50 versions.
