Using Avid Editing Systems in an Avid LANshare Workgroup

Using Avid Editing Systems in an Avid Workgroup Environment
When you work with Avid Interplay, you belong to a workgroup that allows you open a bin with
assets stored in the Interplay database. To read and write media to the database you first need to
mount a workspace. For information on mounting workspaces, see “Mounting Workspaces on an
Avid ISIS System” on page 1156.
c
When you are in a workgroup environment using an asset manager server with an
anti-virus utility, you need to turn off any auto-protection feature when you access the asset
manager. You can then turn the auto-protection feature back on. You need to perform this
each time you access the asset manager. In addition, do not perform a live update while the
system use is high. For more information, see your anti-virus documentation.
For information on disconnecting your Avid editing application from the Interplay environment,
see the topic “Disconnecting from the Interplay Environment” in the Avid Interplay Help.
Using Avid Editing Systems in an Avid LANshare
Workgroup
You can use your Avid editing system as a client in an Avid LANshare workgroup. A LANshare
workgroup lets you share media with other clients connected to a high-performance server
through an Ethernet network.
For complete information on using a LANshare workgroup, including system requirements and
supported resolutions, see the LANserver release notes and documentation.
c
Because LANshare workgroups and PortServer workgroups do not support all Avid
resolutions, make sure you specify a supported resolution in your Avid editing application.
For information on supported resolutions, see the LANserver system or PortServer system
documentation.
When you use your Avid editing application with the LANserver system, you need to set up the
client so LANshare workspaces are recognized when you start your Avid editing application.
To enable the client to recognize LANshare workspaces:
1. Open a bin.
2. Double-click PortServer in the Settings list of the Project window
The Port Server Settings dialog box opens.
3. Select “Auto-connect to LANshare at Launch.”
4. Click Connect, and then click OK.
The dialog box closes, and auto-connect is set.
