Configuration and maintenance of the Interplay Streaming Server is easier without the need to
use a shared folder to store QuickTime reference movies.
Number of Supported Streaming Clients
The Interplay Streaming Server supports up to 100 simultaneously streaming clients. This
support applies to both SR2500 and AS3000 servers. You can add a second server to support an
additional 100 clients. For more information, see “Installing and Configuring an Additional
Streaming Server” on page 123.
Streaming Support for Different Interplay Access Releases
The following table summarizes streaming support for Interplay Access releases.
As shown in this table, Access v2.4 and later users can play proxy media from Streaming Server
v2.4 (or later) or Stream Server v2.3. Access v2.3 users can only play proxy media from
Streaming Server v2.3.
If you are sharing streamed proxy media between Interplay v2.4 and later workgroups and
Interplay v2.3 or earlier workgroups, Avid recommends that you upgrade Interplay v2.3 or
earlier workgroups to Interplay Access v2.4 or later.
