DNxUncompressed Update
With the introduction of DNxUncompressed, you can import, render, transcode and mixdown at uncompressed quality. This allows you to generate media that preserves the full quality of the Timeline (currently the Timeline is 16 bits maximum). DNxUncompressed is available at any raster dimensions (HD, 2K, UHD etc.) With this release, 8 bit and 10 bit DNxUncompressed are supported.
Timeline Settings Change
Default change to Timeline Settings: In previous releases, Show Four-Frame Display was on by default. Show Four-Frame Display is no longer on by default.
Media Composer Notes
Qualified Operating Systems: For information on qualified operating systems, see Qualified Hardware and Operating Systems.
Dongle Info (Mac Only): The Dongle Sentinel driver installer is no longer automatically installed when you install the editing application. The driver is now located in the
Avid_Utilities folder (/Applications/Utilities/Avid_Utilities/Sentinel_Driver). If you have a dongle, manually install the driver from this location.
When installing the Sentinel Driver, check your System Preferences and select “Security and Privacy.” You may need to choose to Allow the driver to be accessed.

If you have a Quadro 4000 graphics card remain on the Nvidia v353.82 driver.
Avid recommends that if you are on a Windows 7 system and working with the v390.77 Nvidia driver, you should enable desktop composition. See this article for details:
http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/how_to/Enable-Desktop-Composition-in-Window s-7
• DX Driver installed separately: Starting with Media Composer v8.9.4, the DX Driver was not automatically installed on Mac systems. With this release, the DX Driver is not automatically installed on Windows systems. See Avid DX Driver Separate Installer.
