Re: [Avid-L2] Re: A goodbye; Selling my copy of MC7 + Dongle

For some reason Filmlight appear to have had to reverse engineer the
Euphonix protocol. They peer directly with the panel rather than
interfacing with it though the Euphonix control software. In my case that
meant I had to disable the panel in Symphony, and then also shutdown the
Euphonix software on my system. It's possible some of that wasn't necessary
though, I'm not totally sure.

Seeing as I barely even bother with the Artist Color panel in Symphony and
don't often fire up Resolve it was no biggie for me. Might be annoying if I
were using the panel more frequently.
