Configuration Requirements
Before you begin using the AirSpeed 5000 Management Console, you must perform some basic
configuration based on the environment for your site.
For more information on the various environments AirSpeed 5000 can be configured in, see
“Determining Your AirSpeed 5000 Environment” on page 2.
Otherwise, if you know the environment for your site, see the following topics:
• “Standalone Mode Configuration Requirements” on page 3
• “Team Mode Configuration Requirements” on page 4
• “Interplay Production Mode Configuration Requirements” on page 5
Determining Your AirSpeed 5000 Environment
The Avid AirSpeed 5000 server can be configured in one of three ways:
•In a Standalone Video Server environment, the AirSpeed 5000 uses only its own internal
storage for storing clips. Clips can be transferred directly between the Avid Editor (Media
Composer or NewsCutter) and the AirSpeed 5000.
•In a Team environment, AirSpeed 5000 uses shared storage (no Interplay). Clips are
transferred directly between the AirSpeed 5000 and the shared storage.
•In an Interplay Production environment, the AirSpeed 5000 operates as a member of an
integrated Interplay workgroup and ISIS Shared storage environment. Clips are transferred
directly between the AirSpeed 5000 and the shared storage.
Before you can use the AirSpeed 5000 Management Console to configure your record and
playback settings, there are some basic configuration requirements you must perform. For more
information, see the following topics:
• “Standalone Mode Configuration Requirements” on page 3
• “Team Mode Configuration Requirements” on page 4
• “Interplay Production Mode Configuration Requirements” on page 5
Once you have performed the basic configuration for any of these environments, you can use the
AirSpeed 5000 Management Console to perform other administrator tasks.
