MC6 and BM Deck link warning: Don’t use audio scrub

Just want to get it out there because we couldn't find any help anywhere.

If anyone is trying to use blackmagic's decklink with MC 6.

Here's what we finally found out:

When you use audio scrub (caps lock), everything slows down and Avid will crash.

When you go out of trim mode (clicking gray bar) and into color correct you get error messages.

Also when you use decklink:

The audio tool shows all sixteen channels when working in stereo, the segment mode arrow dissapears sometimes while working.

There are a lot of other issues with 6,

but these are things that dissapear when we uninstall the 3 party I/O software.

Hopefully this was helpfull.
