Disable App Nap for editing applications on Mac OS X Mavericks
MXO2 software and MXO2 firmware will appear on the Info pane (see “Viewing
MXO2 information” on page 74), along with a
Launch firmware updater
button.
To update the MXO2 firmware from the
Matrox Utilities preferences window,
make sure your MXO2 hardware is powered and connected to your computer,
and then click
Launch firmware updater on the Info pane to run the Matrox
Firmware Updater. You’ll be required to shut down your system, with your
MXO2 powered and connected to your computer, to complete the firmware
update. If updating the firmware for Matrox MXO2 Mini, you must unplug your
MXO2 Mini from the AC outlet, and then re-plug it before restarting your
system.
²Caution Do not disconnect or power off MXO2, or interrupt the firmware update
during the update process. Doing so may damage your MXO2 hardware.
Alternately, you can update your MXO2 firmware by running the Matrox
firmware updater from the Finder window as follows:
1 With your Mac system shut down, supply power to your MXO2, and connect
it to your Mac system.
2 Start your computer.
3 In the Finder menu, choose File > New Finder Window.
4 In the Applications folder, click the Matrox utilities folder, and then
double-click the firmware updater file to run the Matrox Firmware Updater.
You’ll be required to shut down your system, with your MXO2 powered and
connected to your computer, to complete the firmware update. If updating
the firmware for Matrox MXO2 Mini, you must unplug your MXO2 Mini
from the AC outlet, and then re-plug it before restarting your system.

this, open the application’s folder (such as for Final Cut Pro), right-click the
application, choose
Get Info, and in the displayed pane, select Prevent App
Nap
in the General section. When App Nap is disabled, the application will
always run at full power.
