Creating a Studio
You create the Studio by naming up to eight AirSpeeds with a common Host Name and a
unique number after the name. The name and the number are separated with a dash (–). Do
not add any spaces between the name, dash, and number. Also, do not use more than one
dash in the name. The Studio consist of AirSpeeds using the naming format of studioname–1
through studioname–8, which allows the Avid editing system to easily locate the members of
the Studio.
When naming the AirSpeed members to create a Studio, the first AirSpeed name in the
Studio must include the “–1” in the name. The second AirSpeed you add to the Studio must
include “–2” in the name, and so forth. You cannot skip a number in the Studio name. For
example, you must use studioname–1, studioname–2, studioname–3 and cannot use
studioname–1, studioname–3, and studioname–4.
Adding the Studio to Your WorkGroup
The Studio is configured in the “TMClient.ini” tab of the Avid editing application’s Transfer
setting dialog box. A Studio is identified using the following naming convention in the
TMClient.ini tab:
• studioname[N]
In this example, studioname is the name entered as the Host Name on each AirSpeed in the
Studio, and N represents the number of members in the Studio.
This naming convention distinguishes the AirSpeed Studio and all other TransferManager
Servers (including single AirSpeeds). AirSpeed and Studio names must also be added as a
client on the TransferManager Server Configuration Window.
