MAC OSX Requirements and Installation
Ensure your Mac meets the following requirements prior to installing Calibrated MPEG2-X Create:

MacIntel Computer Only; recommended at least Intel Core 2 Duo with two cores or two physical processors

Mac Intel with OSX 10.6.8(Snow Leopard) or 10.7.5(Lion) or 10.8.5(Mountain Lion) or 10.9.4 (Mavericks)

BETA Support ONLY for OS X 10.10 ( Yosemite )

QuickTime Player 7.6.6 or higher

To view or playback XDCAM .MOV files in applications that support QuickTime, you need to have either FCP7,
FCP X, or Calibrated{Q} XD Decode installed on your computer and properly licensed. Some applications like
Avid Media Composer (6.0 or greater) or Adobe CC applications should be able to natively import the created
MOV files

Calibrated MPEG2-X Create supports encoding from 8-bit YUV422 colorspace, HOWEVER it is up to the
application using Calibrated MPEG2-X Create to send that colorspace to the codec. Please see the
“Enable Colorspace Watermark” in the Options Chapter to learn how to see what colorspace an application is
sending to Calibrated MPEG2-X Create, and also see the Windows Applications Chapter or Mac OSX
Applications Chapter to learn more about how to configure Calibrated MPEG2-X Create for popular applications.
 You cannot choose the ‘QuickTime Movie’ export option in FCP 7 – please use the ‘Send to Compressor’
option in FCP 7 to export. If you try to export from FCP 7 using the
‘QuickTime Movie’ Option (i.e. not
using Compressor to export) then I-Frame only export works but Long-GOP exporting will give you an
error when trying to export. Also (for reasons unknown), pressing the ‘Advanced’ button in FCP 7 to get
the Options for the Calibrated MPEG2-X Create codec will crash FCP 7.
