As per your posting:

Can you shed some light on the advantech cards, we use one in each studio to switch the news in and out, if we upgraded to 64 bit these would no longer work, am I correct ?

We're very pleased to announce that we are now able to support all of our current range of products on Windows 7 64 bit (as well as on 32 bit as before!) 

This new support for 64 bit editions of Windows 7 only applies to these current products: 
  • Myriad Family v4 (Includes Playout, AutoTrack, News, OCP etc.)
  • PowerLog v4
  • File Monitor
  • Boot Stuff
  • Audio Input Monitor. 
Older versions of products should only use Windows 7 32 bit, particularly if you are using Advantech hardware cards as those products only used the 32 bit versions of the Advantech drivers.

Hi Craig and Paul,

Craig - why did you decide to go for using 64-bit? Have you seen any performance increases in Myriad at all?

regards - M


Same reason as Craig really, to use the RAm that is sitting inside the new pc's we built a few months ago, 
although we haven't yet moved to 64 bit, but will do it towards the end of the year.
