Understanding Multiple ISIS Workgroups
128
Playback of a sequence with clips from different ISIS systems is not officially qualified. Avid has
not tested performance characteristics for mixing media of any resolution from more than one
storage configuration in a sequence.
Media Creation Workspaces
The Media Creation Workspace setting in the Interplay Administrator sets the workspace used
for media clips created by Instinct and Assist users, such as voice-over recordings and clips
created during send-to-playback operations. Beginning with Interplay v2.6, the displayed
workspaces include the hostname of the shared-storage server in a UNC path. All existing
settings are retained as part of an upgrade to v2.6 or later and you do not need to change them.
For a multiple ISIS workgroup, the Media Creation Workspace setting is affected in the
following ways:
If you do not list shared-storage servers for Avid ISIS Authentication in the User
Authentication view of the Interplay Administrator, the Media Creation setting shows
accessible workspaces for all ISIS systems that are configured through the ISIS client on the
Interplay Engine.
If you list shared-storage servers for Avid ISIS Authentication in the User Authentication
view of the Interplay Administrator, the servers that you specify determine which
workspaces are displayed. This occurs whether or not ISIS user authentication is activated.
For example, if you specify SysDirector_A, only workspaces on SysDirector_A are listed. If
you specify SysDirector_A and SysDirector_B, workspaces on both systems are listed. See
Adding Remote ISIS Systems in the Interplay Administrator” on page 134.

The UNC paths are not displayed until the first time you set or change the Media Creation
Workspace setting.
