1 Installing and Configuring the Remote

Console

The AirSpeed 5000 Remote Console is an application that can be installed on up to ten PCs on your network. In addition, each instance of the AirSpeed 5000 Remote Console is able to connect to up to ten AirSpeed 5000 servers on your network.

The AirSpeed 5000 Remote Console application is pre-installed on the AirSpeed 5000 server by

default. Do not configure this version of the AirSpeed 5000 Remote Console application.

Once configured and connected to an AirSpeed 5000 server (or servers), you can see the channels and inventory on the server(s) you are connected to. Then, remotely from your PC, you can use the AirSpeed 5000 Remote Console application to do the following:

• Cue and play clips

• Cue and record clips

• Retransfer clips

• Manage clip inventory

• Create Playlists and play the clips out on their associated channels

This chapter describes how to install and configure the AirSpeed 5000 Remote Console for your environment.

The following topics are included:

• Standalone Transfer Engine Overview

• AirSpeed 5000 Installation and Configuration Checklist

Standalone Transfer Engine Overview

When AirSpeed 5000 is configured with a standalone Transfer Engine it operates in environments where you have local or shared storage without Interplay. In a Standalone environment, the Transfer Engine (TM) application uses FTP functionality to act as the transfer agent between the Avid editors and the AirSpeed 5000 Remote Console application.

With a Standalone Transfer Engine configuration, AirSpeed 5000 uses only its own internal storage for storing clips and supports playing out to air via drag and drop using the AirSpeed 5000 Remote Console.

In this configuration, clips are visible through Remote Console event listings and can be used to drag and drop files in environments where multiple video servers are used. The standalone configuration supports playout automation applications such as iNEWS ® Command, DNF controllers and other solutions using VDCP or AMS API.

Interplay Transfer Engine does not support Studio playout.

When configured with a Standalone Transfer Engine (Interplay Transfer Engine), the transfer of

clips from AirSpeed 5000 (via the Remote Console) to the Editor must be done manually.

Video servers configured with a Standalone Transfer Engine support the standard features of your video server model (AirSpeed 5000) with the exception of the features listed below:

• Avid Studio Playout

• Interplay Capture

• CaptureManager

• Frame Chase™ Editing

• Edit While Capture (EWC) functionality with Avid Editor systems

• H.264 media transfers to the Editor (not for Standalone or Team)

For more information, see Standalone Software Requirements.

Standalone Transfer Engine Overview

Configuration Requirements for AirSpeed 5000 Server

Before configuring the AirSpeed 5000 Remote Console for standalone environment, each AirSpeed 5000 server that you want to connect to must have been configured with the following:

• Site-specific settings need to be applied for the AirSpeed 5000 to operate with a standalone Transfer Engine.

• A site-specific host name/domain name must have been created for the AirSpeed 5000, including an IP address and mask for the network interface.

•The E: drive must be shared with at least Read Only privileges.

Once these requirements are met, and you have installed all of the necessary hardware and software for your site, you can configure the AirSpeed 5000 Remote Console for a Standalone environment. For more information on specific tasks involved when configuring your AirSpeed 5000 with a Standalone Transfer Engine, see “AirSpeed 5000 Installation and Configuration
