    Boris RED upgrade options for MC Meridien and Adrenaline systems

    We currently have Boris RED 4 for AVX 2 as well as the standalone RED 4 engine installed on two of our MC Meridiens (software V12.0.5) and one of our MC Adrenalines (software V2.2.6).  I have been told that Boris RED has a 4.2 free upgrade out.  Has Avid qualified that version for our systems?  If so, would the upgrade be worth while getting?

    We run 4.2 on MCA 2.8, and it works great. I don't know what the upgrade will get you. On the Creative Cow Boris forum there's a Boris employee, Peter McAuley, who monitors it and will tell you if it's worth while.

    Thanks, Dan.  I'll try that.  Since our MC software is so old, I am afraid there might be compatibility problems.

     Yeah I'd be affraid too w/MCA 2.2.6 Confused He'd know if you'd be OK to upgrade. You guys shoud go to 2.8 if your machine will handle it.

    I'm sure 2.8 would be better, but it's a cost issue here.  We would have to pay for that upgrade.
