Configuring the Local Media Indexer on an Avid Editing System
You do not need to explicitly add the local Media Indexer to the HAG. If the “Server MI
Configuration URL” is correctly set in the Interplay Administration tool, the Avid editing
application will automatically connect to the HAG when you log into Interplay.
Do not use the “Connect to AMQ server MI” button on the web interface to make an explicit
connection to the Media Indexer HAG. This option is overridden by the value in the Interplay
Administrator tool at login time.
To connect an Avid editing application to the Media Indexer HAG:
1. Configure the Administrator tool to recognize the Media Indexer HAG. See “Identifying the
Media Indexer in the Interplay Administrator Tool” on page 60.
2. On your Avid editing system, start the editor and then log into the Interplay database using
one of the following methods:
- Log in using the Project Select dialog that opens when you start the editor.
- Log in using the Interplay Server and Interplay User dialogs in the Settings window.
After you log into the Interplay database, your local Media Indexer will automatically
connect to the Media Indexer in the HAG.
n
The Windows Avid editing application restarts the local Media Indexer service each time you
restart the editor application. This does not happen on the Mac OS X systems.
n
When you start the Avid editing application, there is an initialization period named “Connecting
to the Media Indexer.” This process connects to the local Media Indexer.
3. (Option) Open the Media Indexer web interface, select the Avid editing system, and view the
connection to the HAG.
The system displays the storage locations for the Media Indexer server as shown in the
following illustration. Note that mxf file locations are displayed but AMA file locations are
not displayed in this section.
