Configuring the Media Indexer to Index AMA

You use the Media Indexer web interface to connect to AMA material. To open the web

interface, enter the following in a browser window:

http://<MI system name>:8888/mi/

where <MI system name> can either be the name of the system running the Media Indexer or its

IP address. The string “:8888” identifies the port that the Media Indexer system uses for web

communication.

For information on other new features in Media Indexer v3.0, see “Configuring Media Indexers

for Interplay v3.0” on page 33.

To use the MI web interface to identify the location of the .spaaf files:

1. Click the Configuration tab and then click the AMA Configuration tab.

The system displays the Registration Files Configuration area. This is the top level of the

storage location for the .spaaf files created when you check an AMA clip into Interplay.

The following applies to the workspace that contains the .spaaf files:

- All of the .spaaf files must be located under one top level directory. Avid recommends

setting up a specific workspace for the spaaf files. Do not add ,mxf files to this

workspace.

- The workspace containing the .spaaf files must be mounted as an ISIS workspace on the

editing client. Checkins will fail if the workspace is not mounted.v

- The editor must have write permission to this workspace.

2. Enter the path to the top level of the .spaaf directory as a UNC path. This must be the same

path that you identify in the Interplay Admin tool later in this section.
