Using Remote Media
Once you configure the Interplay settings on your Avid editing application, you can remotely
view, play, and edit media checked in to Interplay. When you access Interplay assets remotely,
audio and video master clips are streamed to your remote system using the Interplay Common
Services (ICS) server.

Depending on your connection, it might take up to 30 seconds to connect to the Media Indexer
when you first open your Avid editing application or when you first open the Interplay Window. If
you experience a delay and a message box opens, you can choose to Cancel the operation or to
Wait. If you select Wait, the connection to Media Indexer should complete after a few moments.
To access remote media clips:
1. In the Settings list, double-click Interplay User and log in to Interplay.
If you have not configured your Interplay settings, follow the procedure in “Configuring
Interplay Settings on the Remote Editing System” on page 1215.
2. Select Tools > Interplay Window.
The Interplay Window opens.
3. Open your Interplay project folder and drag a clip to your bin.
Remote master clips appear in bins with the remote clip icon.
Limitations on Remote Playback
Clips that you access from a remote location play back the same as locally managed clips.
However, because the ICS streams clips to your Avid editing application, your Internet
connection might cause some slowness while playing back clips. Avid recommends using either
a Wi-Fi network connection or a 4G wireless connection.
