Media Composer | Cloud Port Usage
Remote editors using Media Composer | Cloud typically access the Interplay environment using a secure virtual
private network (VPN) connection. Any VPN, Firewall, IPS or other network security devices between the Sphere
clients and Interplay core network need to be configured to allow access to the Media Composer | Cloud servers.
These security devices might require access configuration based on IP addresses as well as the TCP and UDP
ports used by the Sphere services.
Depending on the security at your site, a VPN connection might not guarantee full access to the Interplay servers.
For example, intranet VPN might give access while extranet VPN might have restrictions. The VPN is one layer
of security and in many cases internal security devices might also need to be modified. It is the responsibility of
the site network administrators to ensure that the Sphere users have access to the Interplay servers.
If your site implements additional firewalls or other network security devices between the VPN connection and
the Interplay environment, you must open ports on the firewall or security device for successful communication
with the remote client. For information on modifying the port usage in the Avid Interplay products, see the Avid
Interplay documentation. The following table shows the ports that should be open. In some cases both inbound
and outbound ports must be open.
