Software Installation
The AirSpeed Multi Stream software must be installed and configured onsite. For more
information, see
“Installing the Hardware and Setting Up Your System” on page 47 .
Synchronization
AirSpeed Multi Stream supports both blackburst and tri-level sync. When AirSpeed Multi
Stream is capturing media, it can capture independent to the house reference signal, but the
playout is not synced to the input reference signal. During playback, the outgoing media
should be locked to the house reference signal provided on REF IN connector on the rear of
the AirSpeed Multi Stream. For information on video reference output and configuration,
see
“Video/LTC Connections (MPEG-2 HD Model)” on page 42 .
Ethernet Connections
AirSpeed Multi Stream systems have 4 Ethernet connections, although only 2 are used to
control, configure, capture media to, or play out from, Avid Unity. For more information see
“Connecting Ethernet Cables” on page 66 .
AirSpeed Multi Stream connects to the Avid Unity network with a unique name and IP
address. Avid Unity identifies each AirSpeed Multi Stream using either the AirSpeed Multi
Stream name or the IP address.
Time-of-Day Timecode
AirSpeed Multi Stream takes the time-of-day (TOD) timecode from the Avid Unity ISIS
environment. The time and date are established each time the AirSpeed Multi Stream is
turned on. If an external timecode is not connected to the LTC IN connector, the AirSpeed
Multi Stream uses the system time as TOD.
