Screen Resolution
Avid requires the following for your system to run the Avid Xpress DV
application:
• The Screen area (in the Display Properties dialog box) set to a
minimum of 1024 by 768 pixels
• The Colors (in the Display Properties dialog box) set to True Color
32 bit (High Color 16 bit for systems with video cards that don’t have
32 MB of memory)
• The Refresh Frequency (in the Monitor tab of the Advanced settings in
the Display Properties dialog box) set to 75 Hertz as your screen
resolution

Dual-monitor systems also require a minimum Screen area of
1024 by 768 pixels.
n
Higher screen resolutions can be used. Screen resolutions are limited by
the system’s graphics board and the monitor specifications.
Warning Regarding Your Application Key (Dongle)
The application key, commonly referred to as a dongle, allows the
Avid Xpress DV software to run on your system. Protect your application
key from loss or theft because your Avid Xpress DV software does not
function without it, and acquiring a new application key from Avid
involves a fee.
NTFS and Media Files
Avid recommends storing media on an NTFS file system. If you use
something other than NTFS (FAT or FAT32), the system might not rebuild
your media database under certain circumstances.
If you receive the error message “Unsupported Resolution Error” in NTSC
or “Compression_Not_Supported” in PAL, you need to delete the
msmFMID.pmr file.
