Avid provides the possibility of running either a 64-bit operating system for DS Nitris

systems or a 32-bit operating system for the Symphony Nitris systems.

This is accomplished by using two internal drives controlled by a switch located on the front

panel. Whatever application you want to run--turn the system off, select the application

using the two-position switch, and then turn on the system. This boots to the proper

operating system used with your application.

Please refer to the Dual Boot Addendum that is sent with the documentation for this

system.Avid provides the possibility of running either a 64 bit operating system for DS

Nitris systems or a 32-bit operating system for the Symphony systems.
