- Windows Operating System : Latest MassCore engine (Pyramix 11.x & Ovation 7.x) required for Windows 10 compatibility
MassCore is not compatible with Windows 8.1.
See the Supported Operating Systems page for further details. - Since PMX V11/ Ovation V7, MassCore users running a RAID configuration must use a dedicated RTX dongle (SSK-HUD-RTX) to authorize MassCore.
This issue only affects the system (Windows ) RAID drives, if you have RAID Data drives, a dedicated dongle is not required. - MassCore 10.1 (or above) engine required for Intel Skylake (or above) CPU compatibility
- Since Pyramix v11, a dedicated garphic card is recommended, especially for Video in Timeline features or PyraCube computers.
- Pyramix Video in Timeline features require a dedicated graphic card, see below for specific model details.
- Only 1 video is recommended in DXD or DSD Projects
- In Native – RAVENNA ASIO Driver : 256 samples buffer size recommended when playback video in Pyramix Timeline.
- Laptop users must set their Windows Power Scheme to High Performance (or Ultimate Performance since Windows 10 Spring Creator)
- Windows 7 users should not be running the Windows Classic theme. Follow the recommended Visual Effects settings in our Windows 7 configuration guide.
- Important Note: Nvidia graphic cards are SUPPORTED for MassCore use since Pyramix 11 / Ovation 7 / VCube 7, but not with previous versions (ATI recommended in that case)
