Activating and Deactivating I/O Hardware
The editing application includes a hardware toggle button in the Timeline. This allows you to
switch between hardware and software editing modes. The hardware toggle button appears in the
Timeline if I/O hardware is attached when you launch the editing application. This includes Avid
Nitris DX and Mojo DX hardware and 3rd party Open I/O hardware. This feature allows you to
enable and disable the hardware for use with other software, for example After Effects. This also
allows you to access certain software only features such as Full Screen Play.

The I/O third party vendors are working on updating their plugins to work with the Toggle
Hardware feature. Your current third party plugins will work properly with this version of the
editing application, but if you try and use the Toggle Hardware button without updated plugins,
you might need to reboot the system to reacquire your hardware.
