Before you can send your sequence to the AirSpeed Multi Stream from an Avid editing
system, you must add the AirSpeed Multi Stream to your Send To Playback list in the Avid
editing application. Adding an AirSpeed Multi Stream to the Send to Playback list is done
by adding the AirSpeed Multi Stream Host Name to the TMClient.ini tab of the Transfer
settings.
To send a sequence from an Avid editing system to playout:
1. Add the AirSpeed Multi Stream Host Name to the TMClient.ini tab in the Transfer
settings. This process is described in “Adding the Studio to Your WorkGroup” on
page 192 .
2. Connect to the AirSpeed Multi Stream by selecting Transfer > Reconnect to Server. This
process is described in “Connect to Playout Server or Studio” on page 194 .
3. Send a sequence to playout by doing one of the following:
t
Right-click on the selected sequence and select Send To Playback > AirSpeed Multi
Streamname .
t
Highlight the sequence in your bin and select Transfer > Send To Playback >
AirSpeed Multi Streamname .
4. (Optional) Monitor the transfer status by selecting Transfer > Status Window.
c
Do not delete the sequence or source media off of the Avid Unity workspace until you
are sure the transfers to the AirSpeed Multi Stream or Studio are complete.
Studio Playout
An Avid AirSpeed Multi Stream Studio consists of two to eight systems (a combination that
is comprised of up to four AirSpeed Multi Stream servers, and the balance of original
AirSpeeds) as a Studio by following an AirSpeed Multi Stream host naming method. When
an Avid editing system sends a sequence to the Studio, any AirSpeed Multi Stream member
of the Studio can play out the sequence. If one or more AirSpeed Multi Stream systems in
the Studio are offline, any other AirSpeed Multi Stream still online in the Studio can perform
the playout.
For detailed information on the Studio concept, configuration, and using the Studio, see
“AirSpeed Multi Stream Studio and Playout” on page 191 .
