Avid have now released software version 11.2 which contains many video improvements, especially for Satellite users, but to our surprise Avid have removed Gobbler support! 

“Avid are working with all of our partners to take advantage of Avid Everywhere and enhance our customers’ workflows with our platform. We will work with Gobbler and all partners in our industry to ensure that our customers have the very best seamless workflow experience with Avid products”.
