Using the Interplay Installers
Starting with Interplay v2.7, Interplay installers are delivered on the Avid download center. See
the Interplay ReadMe for additional information. There are three separate Interplay Installers:
one for Interplay servers and one for Interplay clients.
Interplay Servers Installer (Windows)
Interplay Client Installer (Windows)
Interplay Client Installer (Macintosh)
For Avid editing applications such as Media Composer, use the individual installers for the
various Avid editing applications and then use the Interplay Client Installer to install the software
required to make the Avid editing application a client in the Interplay environment.
