We recommend a basic installation of the operating system. Once the OS installation has finished, install all updates which are available through Apple's Software Update. Then configure the OS as described here.
 | Do not install any additional background applications like MenuMeters, Growl, Dropbox, Adobe CC or Dashboard widgets. |
| Once one of the ToolsOnAir components has been started, never change one of the settings described in this chapter. Changing any OS related setting during playout can harm the final output and even crash the engine. |
 | The preferences may look different on your system and can even offer slightly different functions, depending on the OS version and the hardware you are using. |
| Currently we do not support the server version of OS X due to the high number of services running in the background. |
