iMac compatibity
Hi, I 've read the iMac requirements for Carbon that state only 18 and 19 models are compatible.I have a 17,1 iMac(2016) and I'm wondering if it would work with Carbon as unsupported as the specs are really close to the 18 models (i7 at 4Ghz).Anybody got infos on this? Thanks

Re: iMac compatibity
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the difference is thunderbolt 2 vs thunderbolt 3. Maybe Carbon needs the speed of TB3?

I just looked at the requirements and it appears tb2 and tb3 are supported with the appropriate Ethernet adapter. Of course the compatibility requirements for supported equipment are only what has been tested, in my understanding. Not that others won’t perform perfectly well, just none other has been tested, so not officially supported.

Re: iMac compatibity
No it's an Ethernet connexion and if needed it supports thunderbolt 2 to Ethernet adaptor

Re: iMac compatibity
Yes it's usually like this but before buying the interface which would be perfect for my workflow, I'd rather be sure about it....

Re: iMac compatibity
if the ethernet port is at least a 1 Gigabit port, and if your machine can run Catalina 10.15.7 I am guessing (only guessing ) it should work .

Re: iMac compatibity
17,1 iMac is on the list of computer's to test, but we were unable to get to it before the Carbon release.
You can subscribe to the Carbon Requirement's KB so you get notified when we do updates. https://avid.secure.force.com/pkb/ar...n-Requirements It SHOULD work baring any unforeseen performance issues, but please wait until we have officially tested. m
