Chapter 6 Using Device Setup Assistant
About Creating Devices
There are two methods you can use to add and modify devices within Final Cut Server:
using Device Setup Assistant in Final Cut Server System Preferences and using the
Devices pane of the client’s Administration window.
About Creating Devices Using Device Setup Assistant
Device Setup Assistant in Final Cut Server System Preferences is simple to use and
includes additional features, such as a scan and transcode settings conguration
ability. Manually conguring similar features would require you to use multiple
Administration panes.
Device Setup Assistant also makes it much easier to install certain kinds of devices,
such as network devices and Xsan volumes, by simplifying the number of settings.
Additionally, Device Setup Assistant veries all settings you make before allowing you
to continue to the next step. (Devices created with the Administration window are not
veried until you actually use them.)
