Configuring Media Indexer Servers and Clients

5. Configure the Media Indexer servers and clients as described in the following section.

Configuring Media Indexer Servers and Clients

Starting at Interplay v3.0, the Avid Service Framework (ASF) is no longer used to make the

connection between the Media Indexer servers and the Avid editing applications. However, the

following ASF components are still required:

• ASF must be installed on the Media Indexer servers and Windows Avid editing clients as in

previous releases.

• Use the Workgroup Properties tool to connect the Windows clients and servers to the

Lookup Service.

• Mac OS X clients do not require ASF configuration to connect to the Media Indexer.

However, they may require ASF for other reasons. See “Using the Avid Service Framework

on a Mac OS X System” on page 42.

• The Media Indexer HAG is still required. Define the HAG either using the Media Indexer

web interface.

Note that if you add an older editing application (for example, Media Composer v6.5.3) to an

Interplay v3.0 environment, you must use the ASF Service Configuration tool to add the editor

system to the HAG.

Configuring Media Indexer Servers

This section describes how to configure the Media Indexer server using the MI web interface.

To configure the Media Indexer server:

1. Open the web interface on the Media Indexer server using the following URL:

http://

:8888/mi/

where <MI system name> is the server name or IP address of the system running the Media

Indexer. If you are logged onto the MI server, you can use

localhost

for the MI server

name.
