Avid CaptureManager also uses a source ID to associate a master clip with any media created at
the same time, such as a clip captured with two resolutions in a dual-ingest configuration.
However, instead of associating all clips from the same tape with the same source ID,
CaptureManager creates a new source ID every time it captures a new clip.
For details of the possible ways that master clips and media files might be associated with one
another in a MultiRez environment, see “Options for Clip and Media Association” on page 1196.
Guidelines for MultiRez Tape Management
When working in a MultiRez workflow, it is important to name tapes properly. In particular, you
should keep the following in mind:
• Whenever you create a new tape, your Avid editing application generates a new source ID,
even if the name you type for the new tape exactly matches that of an existing tape. You
cannot dynamically relink media that does not share a source ID.
• Do not use the same name for two different tapes or different names for the same tape. This
might cause incorrect media association.
• Do not use the default tape name “New Tape.”
Options for Clip and Media Association
You can associate a single master clip with multiple media files. You can also associate two or
more master clips with the same media if the clips share a source ID and timecode.
Single Clip, Multiple Resolutions
The following illustration shows a single master clip that was captured in two resolutions: 15:1s
and 1:1 (uncompressed). This could be the result of a batch capture, a dual-ingest operation, or
transcoding.
