Avid Media Composer Adrenaline System Requirements

Avid Media Composer is available in different configurations: As software-only, with optional Avid Mojo SDI hardware or as an Avid Media Composer Adrenaline system.
Because the performance and reliability of the Avid Media Composer Adrenaline system depend on the optimal combination of software, I/O hardware, and the computer platform, Avid dedicates a significant amount of engineering resources to test and qualify specific platform configurations.

These Avid-qualified workstations are listed below. We strongly recommend that you use one of these platforms, not only to get the best possible performance out of your system, but also because Avid trains and qualifies its support teams on these systems.

We have also listed a set of minimum specifications. Please note that these are provided for reference only. Avid cannot make any representation regarding either the suitability of non-Avid-qualified platforms to run the Avid Media Composer system or the performance and reliability of such a system. We are also not able to provide support for non-qualified platforms.

If you are looking for optimal system reliability, performance and support, we strongly advise you to purchase an Avid-qualified platform or an Avid turnkey system.
