Adrenaline from PC to Mac with Media Composer 3.0
Hello,
I am searching for documentation, instructions, words of wisdom, do’s and dont’s for switching over my Window’s based Media Composer Adrenaline v 2.8 to our new dual quad-core 3ghz Intel Mac running Leopard 10.5.3 (right now it’s sitting in the corner being used as a file transfer machine, what a waste!)
I’m talking the real nuts and bolts here – dongle upgrades/compatibilty issues, Adrenaline box firmware upgrades/issues, AJA Kona board conflicts, Step1, step 2, step 3… etc.
Since they’ve just come out with Media Composer 3.0, I’m sure there isn’t much documentation yet, but it seems I did see somewhere a while back specific documentation on how to do this switch with Tiger.
Anyone done this yet or know where to find the info? I don’t have a service contract anymore with Avid, and they’re lack-of-knowledge base never answers my questions.
Any info pointing me in the right direction would be mucho appreciated!

Crap. Just saw this on Avid’s site:
Important Notes:
Avid Media Composer Adrenaline, Avid Media Composer with Avid Mojo/Mojo SDI customers on the Mac. Avid Media Composer v3.0 on Avid Adrenaline, Avid Mojo and Avid Mojo SDI is not currently qualified with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard due to an issue between the Apple firewire driver in Apple OS X 10.5 and the Avid Adrenaline and Mojo drivers. This issue is not present with Apple OS X 10.4 Tiger and Avid is currently in the process of qualifying v3.0 on OS X 10.4 so that Avid Adrenaline and Avid Mojo customers can upgrade to v3.0. Customers will be notified when this qualification is complete.
No firewire support for Adrenaline box yet. That danged new firewire technology gets me every time! Yet on the “Qualified Apple Mac Workstations” pdf I just downloaded, there’s a big ol’ check mark in the Adrenaline column. Must still be referencing Tiger in that box – as I zoomed way in I could start making out asterisk’s in the other columns for Leopard.
