Studio Concept
The Studio consists of a group of devices (AirSpeed Multi Stream systems and original
AirSpeeds) that can share a playout request. A maximum of four AirSpeed Multi Stream
systems can be part of a Studio that is itself no larger than eight devices. When media is sent
to the Studio, all the AirSpeeds in the Studio are sent the media. Each AirSpeed in the Studio
is capable of performing the playout even if some of the Studio members are offline.
The Avid editing system sending a sequence to the Studio looks at the information listed in
the TMClient.ini tab of the Transfer settings to identify the Studio and its members. The
Studio information listed in the TMClient.ini tab is the aggregate of all the AirSpeed
members in the Studio.

You can create multiple Studios in a workgroup environment. Each Studio is created using
the same process.
