The Avid UMD device service, along with Avid’s TSL plug-in, is installed from the
Command installation CD on the iNEWS Command Server. For more information, see
“Installing Avid iNEWS Command on the Server” on page 40. 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.
To configure the Avid UMD device service(s):
1. Click the Start button, and then select All Programs > Avid > Service Framework > Avid
Service Configuration.
2. On the Hosts tab, navigate to and select the Avid UMD Device Service.
3. When prompted, enter the system administrator password and click OK. If you have not
yet created one, leave the space blank and click OK.

Avid’s TSL plug-in is preselected for you on the Plug-in Chooser tab.
4. On the Avid UMD Device Service Settings tab, the Service Name should be set to a
unique name that represents the current instance of the device service. By default, it first
appears as Service Name.
5. The Show Duration check box determines if the duration of a clip is displayed when a
clip is cued. For 8-character displays, if Show Duration is left unchecked, the clip’s title
or ID is displayed as determined in the step 6. If Show Duration is selected, then instead
of the clips title or ID, the total clip duration is shown in an abbreviated timecode
format (hh:mm:ss with no frames) when a clip is cued.
