This computer is designed by us at DVC, and as such has not been validated to work with Avid Media Composer, unlike the HP systems listed below. However, we have tested the computer and are confident it works fine, and obviously offer our usual support. The advantage of buying DVC-specified system is that it will be cheaper than using the Avid specification for the same amount of power.

This system is using a standard Intel SANDYBRIDGE processor. The DVC system below uses a more powerfull 2011, ETHUSTIAST processor which has more cores and can have more RAM in the system. This system is actually very good an powerful, the 2011 is better, for an extra cost. Our standard SANDYBRIDGE system also has a Quadro 2000 graphic card, where as the 2011 system has a a better Quadro 4000. Both will work fine with AVID butthe Quadro 4000 will preview more realtime effects.
