2 Installing and Configuring the AirSpeed
Video Servers
AirSpeed 5000 and AirSpeed Multi Stream are digital recorders or playback devices
designed to work seamlessly in Interplay environments. These video servers let you capture
incoming media directly into Avid shared storage or play out media to air.
Both AirSpeed video servers can join three Avid Service Framework workgroups, the
Interplay workgroup and the Command workgroup. The primary workgroup must be the
Interplay workgroup so ingests are transferred to Unity and media sent to playback are
transferred to video server.
Both AirSpeed 5000 and AirSpeed Multi Stream use the AirSpeed Multi Stream or AMS
device service, which can be configured to join multiple workgroups. The main reason for
joining a second workgroup will be to join the Command workgroup. Because the video
servers are communicating with multiple workgroups, they need to be added to the Lookup
tab in the Workgroup Properties application.
