Support - Raptors for Avid

What maximum color depth do your plug-ins support?

Raptors plug-ins process internally at 15 bit colour depth. Color information at a higher bit depth is truncated to 15 bits during processing.

I've loaded my Raptors and I can`t see any plug-ins.

Occasionally the plugin registration is out of sync with the presets. This can
usually be corrected by running the script in: Avid DS V8: c:\programfiles\Avid\ds_v8.0\CmdRegS6.bat Avid DS V7.X: c:\programfiles\Avid\ds_v7.x\regplugins6.bat

What is my System ID (SysID)?

The System ID uniquely identifies a particular computer. On Avid DS V7 and earlier this is the Dongle ID which is the number printed on your dongle (usually in the form 8-XXXXXXXXXXXX). It can also be found by going to Help > About Avid DS in Avid DS. On Avid DS V8 and for all Avid DS RP licences SysID is the MAC address of the ethernet adaptor. To find this do to Start>Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt. In the window type: ipconfig/all. The ethernet adapter physical address will be given in the form xx:yy:zz:aa:bb. If SpeedSix plug-ins are already installed you can also go to Start>Programs>SpeedSix>License ID to display the MAC address.

How do I install my license?

Your Raptors licence file will usually be supplied by email and has a .lic extension. Do not edit this file in any way, you just need to copy it to the SpeedSix license folder.
