Automatically Connecting to the Media Services Engine
63
In Media Services v3.0, you only need to perform step 2.
A Media Services v3.0 provider automatically generates a name for the provider that it displays
in the Provider Settings dialog box.The name uses the syntax
<hostname>_<servicename>_<unique#>, for example “AvidInterplay1_Restore_9558.”
Formats include the following:
• <hostname>_Archive_<unique #>
• <hostname>_Restore_<unique #>
• <hostname>_Copy_<unique #>
• <hostname>_Move_<unique #>
• <hostname>_STPEncode_<unique #>
• <hostname>_Transcode_<unique #>
• <hostname>_Delivery_<unique #>
You can override the automatically generated name in the Provider Settings dialog box.
The new procedures are documented in the Avid Interplay Media Services Setup and User’s
Guide and the Interplay Help. If necessary, you can use the manual procedures, which are also
documented.
Automatically Connecting to the Media Services
Engine
The Provider Settings dialog box, which you open from the provider window, includes an option
called “Automatically Connect?” This setting allows the provider to automatically connect to the
Media Services Engine when the service starts. For new installations, it is now enabled by
default.
