Special Note: Media 100 Suite Version 1.6.2
Media 100 Suite Version 1.6 is now integrated with Calibrated{Q} DVCProHD Decode for OSX for playback of DVCProHD
Media in Media 100 Suite on systems that do not have Final Cut Pro installed.
Please see

Special Note: Adobe CS Performance Enhancement
If you are using the following Adobe CS 5/5.5/6/CC/CC2014 Applications:
After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and Encore
decoding performance of Calibrated{Q} Decode codecs can be greatly enhanced by installing an Adobe XML patch file
that we’ve created. The XML patch file enables the above Adobe applications to decode from the Calibrated{Q} Decode
codecs at 8-bit YUV422 or 10-bit YUV422* colorspace which will greatly improve decode performance in the above Adobe
applications.
*10-bit YUV422 support is intended for Calibrated{Q} AVC-Intra Decode when working with AVC-Intra files.
You can download the XML patch file here

Quick Note: Final Cut Pro and FC Studio Applications
In the past Calibrated{Q} Decode codecs stated they were not meant for any computers with Final Cut Pro or Final Cut
Studio installed. This was because Calibrated{Q} Decode codecs for the most part were not necessary in FC Studio and
could conflict with the Apple codecs that come with Final Cut Studio
– the conflicts would not cause crashes; however the
conflicts mainly centered around RT performance in FCP and the use of QuickTime Gamma in YUV->RGB conversion
(Calibrated{Q} Decode codecs by default have QuickTime Gamma correction disabled; while the Apple codecs use
QuickTime Gamma in YUV->RGB conversions)
With newer versions (see the ‘Version History’ chapter), Calibrated{Q} Decode codecs no longer loads in Final Cut Pro,
SoundTrack Pro, LiveType, DVD Studio Pro, Compressor, Color, Cinema Tools. Please use the Apple codecs that come
with Final Cut Studio in those applications.
Special Note: CatDV
IMPORTANT: If you experience any problems in creating proxies and/or playback in CatDV, please enable Protected
Mode in CatDV. To enable 'Protected Mode', go to the CatDV Preferences and select 'Media Playback' and then check
the option 'Protected player: Use separate QuickTime helper process'. Playback performance is a little less smooth in
‘Protected Mode’ but it will be more stable. Also, in newer versions of CatDV you may wish to also disable the ‘scrub
audio when dragging play head’ option in the ‘Media Playback’ CatDV Preferences to make scrubbing in CatDV faster.
