Single-Channel AirPlay MP
The Avid Media Processor is a computer that serves as the CPU for
AirPlay MP. The system and peripheral boards installed in the Avid
Media Processor convert the incoming video and audio analog signals
into digital format for storage.
A UI monitor displays the user interface; a keyboard and mouse serve
as communication devices for entering commands and operating the
system. A playback monitor displays material the system is playing or
recording.
When the system records, it stores the audio and video media data in
digital format on storage drives. The system plays back the digital
material from the drives.
n
AirPlay MP can be conÞgured as a one-, two-, or three-channel system. This
section describes the single-channel system. See Chapter 3 for information
about multichannel AirPlay MP.
AirPlay MP/NewsCutter Combination System
The AirPlay MP/NewsCutter combination system has the same
hardware as the single-channel AirPlay MP system. However, both
NewsCutter and AirPlay MP software are installed on the system, so
you can in turn, use NewsCutter features for editing programs and
AirPlay MP features for playing back material.
