Configuring an Avid Interplay Workgroup For
Transfers
The Avid Interplay Administrator provides Interplay Transfer site settings for registering
Interplay Transfer engines, AirSpeed systems, and other Interplay Transfer enabled devices in an
workgroup. After an Interplay Transfer engine is registered, you can access it from any Interplay
Transfer client in the workgroup. The type of transfers a server or device can perform depends on
the transfer settings.
The Interplay Transfer Settings let you:
• Select a Transfer Cache engine for monitoring various Interplay transfers. You can choose
which Interplay Transfer engines and Interplay Transfer enabled devices are monitored by a
Transfer Cache engine. See “Selecting a Transfer Cache Engine for Monitoring Transfers”
on page 56.
• Add an AirSpeed Studio that simultaneously distributes a Send to Playback request to
multiple AirSpeeds. See “Adding an Avid AirSpeed Studio” on page 59.
• Configure a Studio to allow Send to Playback requests to individual AirSpeeds in the Studio.
• List the transfer devices in the various Send to menus.
• Set the length of time between refreshing the Transfer Status view. See “Setting the Refresh
Time of the Interplay Transfer Status Window” on page 60.
Opening the Interplay Transfer Settings View
