Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Ver. 6 and Medianet compatibility?

I'm running several MC 5.5.3 systems with iOExpress on 10.6.8. There was NO
Avid Open I/O driver then. So don't install any Avid Open I/O drivers. I
believe my AJA drivers are 9.0.5. Works for everything = SDI input, output,
422, etc.. Some strange behavior sometimes, but pretty solid.
