The editor in Warf-Pickel room 115 now uses an Avid Artist DNxIO A/V interface. This interface handles audio and video input and output to the Mac Pro.
In order to output audio and video to the Avid Artist DNxIO interface and the external monitors, certain preferences will need to be adjusted. For most applications, such as Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, etc., the Playback preference will be located in the (App) -> Preferences menu. Once you find this setting, make sure that Avid Artist DNxIO is selected for audio and video outputHowever, the setup is a bit more complex for Avid ProTools.
The following information will help you set up communication between the Artist DNxIO interface and Avid ProTools.
