
Uninstall previous versions of the Media Indexer
on Media Indexer servers and clients. Then install
Avid Service Framework v1.6 or later and Media
Indexer v3.0 or later on the Media Indexer servers
and Windows Avid editing clients.
See “Upgrading to Media Indexer v3.0” on
page 35.

Install ASF v1.6 on other systems that require ASF
such as the Lookup service system and Interplay
Capture.
Use the ASF Workgroup Properties tool to connect
the Windows Media Indexer clients (including
Avid editors) to the Workgroup and Lookup
Service as usual.
You do not need to configure the Workgroup
Properties tool on Mac clients in order to connect
to the Media Indexer. If you need to connect them
to the Workgroup for other reasons, use the
configure.sh script that ships with the Media
Indexer.
See “Connecting Systems Directly to the
Lookup Service” in the Interplay Software
Installation and Configuration Guide.
See “Using the Avid Service Framework on
a Mac OS X System” on page 42.

Add the Media Indexer server name to the Server
Connection MI URL portion of the Interplay
Administrator tool.
See “Identifying the Media Indexer in the
Interplay Administrator Tool” on page 39.

Configure the Media Indexer storage locations and
HAG. Use the Media Indexer web interface.
See “Configuring Media Indexer Servers”
on page 36.

Start the Avid editing application. When you log
into the Interplay database, the Avid editing system
automatically connects to the Media Indexer HAG.

on an Avid Editing System” on page 41.
