Testing Your Avid Unity ISIS
Connection
Before you begin using the Avid Unity ISIS sys-
tem, you should test the connection to your
workspace to make sure communication be-
tween your client system and the ISIS system is
sufficient for the functionality needed by your
system. You can use the Avid PathDiag tool,
which installs with your client software, to test
the read/write throughput (the rate that read
and write operations are conducted between
your client system and a mounted workspace).
Starting the Avid PathDiag Tool
The Avid PathDiag tool is a diagnostic utility
that allows you to validate your Avid Unity ISIS
connection by quantifying the throughput of
Windows editing applications accessing
Avid Unity ISIS workspaces.
To start Avid PathDiag tool:
 Choose Start > All Programs > Avid Unity
ISIS > PathDiag.
Setting Up a Test
To test the general status of your connection to
the ISIS system, you need to configure a custom
test.
To access the custom test settings options:
1 Start the PathDiag tool (see “Starting the Avid
PathDiag Tool” on page 25).
2 Click the Setup button.
Mount To dialog
If you are using Media Station|PT and want
to use a Universal Naming Convention path
for the workspace instead of a drive letter,
select UNC (letterless). (Pro Tools does not
support UNC paths for access to media
files.)
For detailed information on the PathDiag
tool, see the Avid Unity ISIS Client Manager
User’s Guide.
