You can group from 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. Send a sequence to the Studio
and all the AirSpeed Multi Stream systems in that Studio have the capability to playout the
sequence. For more information on the Studio concept and configuration, see
“AirSpeed
Multi Stream Studio and Playout” on page 191 .
Media that you previously captured plays back through the connections on the back of the
AirSpeed Multi Stream. You can play back up to four streams of video at the same time.
Capture and playback can be controlled on the AirSpeed Multi Stream in the following
ways:
• The AirSpeed Multi Stream user interface
• Avid CaptureManager over Ethernet
• Avid iNEWS Command over Ethernet
• RS-422 serial control using VDCP, or Sony BVW protocols
For more information, see “Configuring Channels for Remote Control with Avid iNEWS
Command or CaptureManager” on page 106 .
AirSpeed Multi Stream creates a copy of all media captured to its local drives. The media
remains there until deleted.
