Scan settings define how often Final Cut Server examines the device to see if any
content has changed. This is an optional setting.
Note: Scan settings you configure using Device Setup Assistant create one or more
schedules and one or more scan responses. These schedules and responses appear in
the Final Cut Server client’s Administration window’s Schedule and Response panes.
Important: Scan settings you configure using Device Setup Assistant apply to the
entire device—you cannot choose to only scan specific folders. You can create
schedules and scan responses with the Administration window that apply to specific
folders within a device or you can create devices using Device Setup Assistant from
those folders.
Transcode settings define the various video and audio formats that the device can use
when transcoding an asset. You must choose at least one transcode setting, although
one of the settings is No Conversion. These settings are made available when you
upload an asset to the device.
To add a device using Device Setup Assistant:
1 In Final Cut Server System Preferences, click Devices.
This pane lists the current devices.
Important: If you have created devices using the client’s Administration window, they
should appear in this list (except for Contentbase devices). If any are missing, you
should quit System Preferences, then open it again to refresh the list.
2 Click the lock and authenticate yourself as the administrator.
