The MV-VIP3 and MV-VIP3D cards cannot be mixed with MV-VIP1 or MV-VIP2 cards in a
multiviewer frame because they use different versions of firmware. All cards fitted in a
Multiviewer frame run on the same firmware version and must be compatible with that
firmware version.
The following table gives details of the firmware that each of the card types is compatible with.
• For audio card rules and limitations see appendix D.1.1 and D.1.1.1.
