Chapter 6 Using Device Setup Assistant
Full scans: Full scans examine the device for any changes, including any new,
changed, or removed les. All of these changes are then made to the Final Cut Server
catalog. Full scans are processor intensive and may require signicant computer
resources to run. For that reason, they are usually set to run once a day or once a
week, and usually at an otherwise slow time, such as the default time of 12:00 AM.
Add Only scans:
Add only scans are not as thorough as full scans, locating only new
and changed les with a created or modied date between the last time this scan ran
and the current time (it will not see new les with created or modied dates older
than when the scan last ran; for example, les that you dragged to the device from
the Finder). These changes are then made to the Final Cut Server catalog. Because
add only scans are not as processor intensive as full scans, they are congured to run
often, such as at the default frequency of every 15 minutes.
