Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Resolve on Symphony

Sorry I'm late to the party on this.

I can/have run Symphony and Resolve together on the same system. In fact I
can run them both that the same time... The Symphony sees the Nitris and
Resolve sees the Decklink and they seem to leave each other alone.

Symphony seems to have a priority in the way it scans for I/O hardware,
presumably the Avid hardware is first. If the Nitris is connected it uses
that and shows no signs of seeing or caring at all about the Decklink.

My system is:
Z800 Dual X5650 2.66GHz proc
18GB RAM (may have been using 12GB at some point with this setup too).

NVidia Quadro FX3800
NVidia GeForce GTX580 3GB
Avid Nitris DX
Blackmagic Decklink SDI
Myricom 10Gb Ethernet

Sorry, I can't recall or easily check the slot configuration on those cards.

I was using Symphony 6.0.1 and Resolve 8.2 I think. I recently upgraded to
Resolve 9 Beta 1 which still works fine, but I have tested Symphony since
doing that. This is on a secondary boot drive in my system, for most of my
work I'm still using Symphony 5.0 and no Resolve on the main boot drive.

The closest thing I've had to a problem is that Resolve and Symphony can't
seem to agree on a graphic driver they like. I upgraded to the newer
version that Resolve likes and Symphony complains about it, but I ignore
that with no obvious ill effects in the work I was doing on it. I believe
there is a way to hack the driver versions that Symphony will consider
acceptable but I haven't tried it.
