The 25-digit Device ID and 11-digit System ID fields will be pre-populated only if you have
entered your 11-digit Avid System ID in the Server Mode page.
Depending on your license type, you might have an expiration date.
If your license expires, the next time your system is restarted, your license will be deactivated
and that feature will not be available. You need to acquire a new license to regain the feature or
functionality.
Field Description
ACTIVATION
STATUS
This section lists the status and description of the various features that are active
on your AirSpeed 5000 server. It also lists the expiration date (if applicable).
In this example, the AirSpeed 5000 is activated and licensed to create/record
DNxHD and to also create H.264 proxy media for dual ingesting low and high
res simultaneously.
‘Copies’ in the Status field refer to the amount of active transactions supported at
once. So, for example, 4 copies of DNxHD support allow for up to 4 channels of
DNxHD.
The 5 copies of H.264 encoding in this example would allow 4 channels of
simultaneous ingest and also a 5th background transfer could be used to
regenerate proxies (2.1 feature) for clips that do not have one. For example, clips
recorded before you licensed the system for proxies will not have them. Also, if
you FTP a clip to the server, it will need to have a proxy generated as well
(automatic feature as of 2.1). In both cases the proxy is not generated during
recording, since the clip was not recorded on the system originally with proxy
enabled.
