Media Indexer Installation Check List
Starting at Interplay v3.0 and Media Composer v7.0, there is a new method for connecting to
Media Indexer servers. Media Indexer still requires the Avid Service Framework (ASF), but it
does not rely on ASF for communication between Media Indexer clients and servers. Instead, the
Media Indexer uses messaging technology to communicate with the clients. The following
checklist shows the steps required to upgrade a site to use Media Indexer v3.0.
Create the Interplay database. See “Creating an Interplay Database” in the
Avid Interplay Engine and Avid Interplay
Archive Engine Administration Guide.
Create Interplay users and folder structures to match
your project workflow and define a delete strategy.
See “Setting up a Folder Structure and a User
Database” and “Developing a Delete Strategy”
in the Avid Interplay Best Practices guide.
Review the ISIS and Interplay maintenance
procedures.
See the Interplay Best Practices Guide.

Check List for Connecting Media Indexer Servers and Clients
Task Section Reference
Uninstall previous versions of the Media Indexer on
Media Indexer servers and clients. Then install Avid
Service Framework v1.6 or later and Media Indexer
v3.0 or later on the Media Indexer servers and
Windows Avid editing clients.
If you are upgrading a system you must delete
the old cache files before installing Media
Indexer v3.0. See “Upgrading to Media
Indexer v3.0” on page 56.
Install ASF v1.6 on other systems that require ASF
such as the Lookup service system and Capture.
Use the ASF Workgroup Properties tool to connect the
Media Indexer clients (including Avid editors) to the
Workgroup and Lookup Service as usual.
You do not need to configure the Workgroup
Properties tool on Mac clients in order to connect to
the Media Indexer. If you need to connect them to the
Workgroup for other reasons, use the configure.sh
script that ships with the Media Indexer.
See “Connecting Systems Directly to the
Lookup Service” on page 106.
See “Using the Avid Service Framework on a
Mac OS X System” on page 63.
