3) Replacement motherboards are no longer in production.


4) All the current dTective modules are not supported in Windows NT/2000.


5) Microsoft Windows NT and Windows 2000 are not longer in production or support
     by Microsoft.

The motherboard layout and design has changed dramatically over the last 3 years. As such, there are no longer Avid qualified motherboards being manufactured to replace yours if it fails. Fortunately, during the same time period, Avid has redesigned the architecture of it's video engines to take advantage of the newest computer developments eliminating the need for a Meridien video processor board.

What's different about the newly designed Avid video platforms?

Where the older CPUs needed the Meridien boards to assist in processing video at uncompressed quality, these newly designed systems are powerful enough to process the video using raw horsepower. The newly designed systems do not use an internal style Avid video processor, so upgrading these systems in the future is much easier and less costly.

These systems are also more expandable. As CPU processors get faster, the system is designed to take advantage of the increased power, allowing you to do more functions in less time.

  • Upgrade to Windows XP Professional. Windows NT and Windows 2000 are no longer supported by Microsoft support.

  • Upgrade to an Avid platform that's is being actively developed with new product releases that address the best that today technologies have to offer.
