Setting Up a Client Workstation
Remote Processing Guide • 23
Setting Up a Client Workstation
Once you’ve installed Avid|DS on the client workstation, you should make
sure that the license server software is installed and running, and that the
floating license is appended to the Avid|DS license file on one of the client
workstations in the workgroup.
Configuring the
Storage
If you have multiple client workstations, each video storage in a workgroup
must be assigned a unique identification number called a storage ID. The
remote processing station uses the storage IDs to determine the video storage
on which to save the processed (cache) files.
Creating New Storages
Using the Avid|DS Storage Utility, you can create a new video storage with a
different storage ID. For more information, refer to Adding Storage on page 71
of the Avid|DS User’s Guide.
In workgroups that contain several client workstations, you may have to
change the storage IDs for some of the video storages to avoid conflicts.
Moving Media between Storages
On client workstations where the primary storage ID is changed, use the
Media Manager to move media from the old storage to the new storage before
you configure the shared storages. Otherwise, the media links will not be
reestablished after the storages are configured. Once this is complete, you can
delete the old storage. For more information, refer to Moving Media on
page 55 of the Avid|DS User’s Guide.
Although this procedure only outlines how to share your video
storages in a workgroup, you must share the audio storages as well.
This section only applies to workstations that were used prior to
setting up the workgroup.
