Avid released the new x.8.3 editors today to the download center.  One of the editors is Symphony Nitris v1.8.3.     Note that all the x.8.3 editors are CPR releases

What is a Customer Patch Release?

A CPR is an update for Avid products intended to address specific problems. Because CPR testing involves a limited test cycle, CPRs should only be used when a customer’s specific issue has been resolved in that respective CPR. If you are unsure whether a specific CPR addresses your issue, check the accompanying release notes for verification. If the release notes do not mention a specific issue, you can contact Avid Technical Support, their Avid Account representative, or local Avid reseller prior to installing the software. CPR updates are cumulative- the current CPR includes all prior updates.

Requirements

The new x.8.3 CPRs, include support for Mac OS X 10.4.11, QuickTime 7.3, the Microsoft VC-1 codec, and Avid Interplay 1.2.3 (Windows). Interplay is upgraded by he Avid PSG team so please contact your Avid rep for assistance.   Additional enhancements are detailed in the ReadMe documentation found on the Avid Knowledge Base. You should definitely read this documentation before using any new software version.
