Co-Install Supported Configurations
23
• To install Pro Tools and an Avid editing application on the same system, install Pro
Tools first and then the editing application.
• When you uninstall Pro Tools, choose to uninstall just the application and not the audio
drivers. On a Macintosh Pro Tools system, this is named the “Safe Uninstall.”
• Media Composer and Avid NewsCutter were tested with the Mbox, Mbox 2, and Mbox
2 Mini as valid I/O peripherals. If you uninstall the audio drivers for these devices, the
editing application no longer sees the devices.
• If you install Avid editing hardware on your system — Mojo, Mojo SDI, Adrenaline,
Mojo DX, or Nitris DX — the editing application does not recognize any connected
Mbox and Mbox 2 as audio devices.
• If you run into any issues, uninstall both applications and reinstall Pro Tools first, then
your editing application.
Co-Install Supported Configurations
The following table provides a list of supported Avid Media Composer v3.5.2 and later
products with the Pro Tools v8.0 peripherals.
• Co-install — Indicates that you can install the device on the same system as you install
your Avid editing application. For a list of devices supported for audio input/output
operations with your Avid editing application, see “Audio Device Supported
Configurations” on page 24.
• Not supported — Indicates that you cannot install the audio device on a supported Avid
editing system.
• Not Tested — Indicates that Avid has not tested the device with a supported Avid
editing system configuration.
