With Apple announcing improvements in broadcast monitoring with the 10.0.4 update, the three main hardware manufacturers have announced software updates too.

We knew it wouldn't take long, in fact Blackmagic let the cat out of the bag slightly early by letting slip that that their new update supported 10.0.4.

Just before we list the updates, it has been noted by Oliver Peters and others that 10.0.4 has caused some problems with inversion of plugins such as Magic Bullet and GenArts Sapphire Edge. Also some users who have installed the driver updates have said it makes a huge difference, some say the output is still sluggish.

MATROX announced MXO2/Mojito MAX 3.0.1 via a·press release.
