8. In the Catalog field, enter the name of the folder (inside the Catalogs folder) where items are
being transferred to in Interplay. This should match the playback catalog in the Avid Transfer
Engine. If the destination folder is more than one layer deep, use a forward slash (/) as the
directory separator, such as omneoncat/1A. You do not need to specify the Catalogs folder itself.

If the playback catalog is not already configured, it must be set up correctly via the Tranfer Engine
Configuration application, which runs on the Transfer Engine Server. The procedure for this is
provided next.

1. Start the Transfer Engine Configuration application.
2. In the Playback section, click Add. The Playback Device dialog box appears.
3. Select the Enable Playback Catalog Name check box and, in the text field below that, enter the
same destination folder used to configure the Interplay Agent device service, such as omneoncat/
1A.

The device name in the Playback Device dialog box is not the same as the Interplay Agent device
name. This one is specific to Transfer Manager.

Configuring the Avid UMD Device Service
The Command user interface lets you control Under Monitor Display (UMD) or In Monitor Display
(IMD) devices via the TSL UMD protocol, developed by Television Systems Limited, so that the
clip’s title, the countdown timecode—the one showing the remaining duration—and the tally light for
playing video can be displayed on or near the video monitor in the control room. Without the Avid
UMD device service and Avid’s TSL plug-in, the timecodes for playing video appear only on the
Command Workstation.
In general, the device service communicates through a third-party intermediate device, such as
TallyMan manufactured by Television Systems Limited. With the TallyMan, one cable is run to the
TallyMan and other cables run from it to each UMD.
The Avid UMD device service, along with Avid’s TSL plug-in, is installed from the Command
installation CD on the MediaCentral Command Server. For more information, see
“Installing
MediaCentral | Command on the Server” on page 29 . After installation, additional configuration of
the device service is required, using the Avid Service Configuration application of Avid Service
Framework. For more information about this application, see the
Avid Service Framework User’s
Guide . Configuration of the device service is covered in the following procedure.
