If your workflow includes entering a Tape ID value when you perform a STP operation from the

editor, you must include the PLAYOUTID tag. Or keep the text field blank.

Using Tape ID strings with OP1-a Generic FTP Profiles

You don’t typically open the Playback Device dialog box when creating Generic FTP profiles. If

you want to use the Tape ID for a Generic FTP profile, do the following.

To configure a Tape ID name for a Generic FTP profile:

1. Open the Avid Interplay Transfer Engine Configuration tool.

2. Select a playback device in the Playback area (bottom center).

3. Click the Edit button.

The Playback Device dialog box opens.
