thoroughly before installing or using any new software release.

If you are upgrading from MediaNetwork version 3.3 to MediaNetwork

version 3.3.4, you must use these Release Notes in conjunction with the

Avid Unity MediaNetwork Version 3.3 Release Notes. Both sets of notes

should be read thoroughly before installing the 3.3.4 release.

If you are upgrading a MediaNetwork workgroup from MediaNet version

1.2, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.2.1, 3.0, or MediaNetwork version 3.1 or v3.2 to

MediaNetwork v3.3.4, you must also use Avid MediaNetwork Version 3.3

MEDIASwitch, Windows NT

clients, Windows

2000 clients, Windows

XP clients, and Macintosh

clients to version 3.3.

If you have a Windows 2000 or Windows XP system with an Alacritech

3.0, or MediaNetwork Version 3.1 or v3.2 to MediaNetwork v3.3.4, or just

upgrading from version 3.3 to 3.3.4, you must use the procedure provided
