Studio Playout
An Avid AirSpeed Multi Stream Studio consists of two to eight systems (a combination that
is comprised of up to five 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 267 .
Play While Transfer
Play While Transfer (PWT) allows the AirSpeed Multi Stream to playout media after
approximately 20 seconds of media has been transferred from the shared storage. The
transfer of the entire clip from the Avid editing system is not required with this option.
The following applies with regards to Play While Transfer:
• When PWT is selected, the clip is available for playout when 20 seconds of media has
been transferred. This allows the clip to be played before the transfer of the clip is
complete.
• If a group of clips are selected in an editor, only one clip can be designated as a PWT.
Sending multiple PWTs requires separate STP transfers.
• AirSpeed Multi Stream supports up to four simultaneous Play While Transfers (PWTs),
although PWT transfers happen even if four transfers are in progress. You might see up
to eight transfers in progress at one time if this occurs. If there are no PWT transfers,
you will have a max of 4 transfers at one time.
