    Posted this at Avid/BMD Forum:

    Ive had the BMD and MC running for weeks with no issues (other than the AAF rant I have posted all over here).

    Worked on this system last Saturday and no problems at all.

    Come in today and find Video Output missing from the Settings menu.

    I can also see the 10bit option missing from the timeline.

    Played around with the System Prefs and still nothing.

    Using the BMD Desktop software I can see the 10bit HD Color Bar Test Clip fine on all displays.

    Were using a BMD Studio VideoHub here.

    I re-installed all software and started from scratch and still no Video Output.

    I am now deploying a whole new Mac Pro similar to last workstation settings.

    Im hoping this isnt going to be the norm with BMD and Avid MC.

    Using MC 7.0.4 on OS X 10.9.4 on new Mac Pro.

    Solved this issue by removing all software (no reformat) then re-install.

    I also figured out a working Thunderbolt pattern so that I can run the following on a D700 Mac Pro 8-Corez:

    Sonnet Echo Express III Rack
    – RED ROCKET
    Sonnet Echo Express III Rack
    – Digidesign HDX PCI
    Black Magic Design UltraStudio 4K
    GRAID Studio 8TB
    Apple Cinema 30″ (2) displays

    Digidesign Pro Tools running with HD I/O and Sync HD
    Avid Media Composer using BMD UltraStudio 4K
