=====================
Features not discussed in printed documentation:

Active In Background.

For Pro Tools III (TDM) and only for Pro Tools III there is new menu item in the "Audio" menu.  The item is called "Active In Backgound" and is between "Mix Audio On Capture" and "Audio Preferences".  You can check and uncheck "Active In Background".

If "Active In Background" is not checked, when Studio Vision becomes a background application  if Studio Vision is not playing, it will temporarily release the DAE.  This causes all TDM connections to be broken.  When you go back to Studio Vision the TDM connections are re-established.

If "Active In Background" is checked, when Studio Vision becomes a backgound application all TDM connections are maintained.  But no other application can use the DAE.

Setting Locators

Typing a number will no longer set an empty locator.  Instead,  option-number or option-click must be used.

Opening 3.0 Files with SMPTE Offsets

Because of some subtle changes and improvements in the way timing now works with Studio Vision, SMPTE offsets for existing 3.0 files are automatically adjusted when opened. Although the new offset is moved back by 20 subframes, the actual synchronization of the sequence should play back as before.
