28 Using Interplay Transfer to Export Media
Avid Interplay Transfer lets you transfer Avid assets to and from another workgroup, send
finished sequences to a configured playback device, and capture media from a configured ingest
device. You can also use Interplay Transfer in a standalone environment (an environment other
than Avid shared storage) to move Avid assets between workstations.
When you use Interplay Transfer in a workgroup environment, you can use several types of
transfers.
• You can perform a transfer from within the Avid editing system (for example, NewsCutter)
to another workgroup or playback device. See “Transferring Avid Assets from an Avid
Editing Application” on page 1240.
• You can transfer finished sequences to a configured playback device. See “Transferring Avid
Assets to a Playback Device” on page 1240.
• You can edit media during the capture process. See “Frame Chase Capture” on page 236.
• You can monitor the transfer of items from an Avid editing application so you can see the
assets you transferred. See “Monitoring Transfers from Within the Avid Editing
Application” on page 1242.
• You can also perform other transfer operations from Interplay workgroups to your editing
application, from ingest devices, from FTP servers, and between Avid MediaManager
workgroups and Avid Interplay. For complete information on using Interplay Transfer, see
the Avid Interplay Transfer Setup and User’s Guide.
Installing the Interplay Transfer Client Software
You must install the Interplay Transfer client software on each Avid editing client in the
workgroup that plans on transferring Avid assets to another workgroup or playback device.
Depending on your workflow and workgroup environment, you might need to install one of the
Interplay Transfer support software products. If your workflow requires auto transferring of
assets, you need to install the Avid Interplay Auto Media Services service that includes the Auto
Transfer service. If you want to monitor transfers from a standalone system on your network,
you should install the Avid Interplay Media Services and Transfer Status software.
