ure a Pro Tools or Media Station|PT workstation
as an ISIS client within an Avid Unity ISIS sys-
tem, as well how to exchange audio and video
media sequences between Pro Tools,
Media Station|PT, and Avid application clients
attached to an ISIS system.

tors, Pro Tools users, and Avid users.
Avid Unity ISIS Capabilities
Avid Unity ISIS is an Ethernet-based shared stor-
age system that lets users of Pro Tools and Avid
applications share the same media as follows:
• Stream audio and video media in real time.
• Configure up to nine users on the same ISIS
system.
• Share AAF, OMF, and MXF audio and video
sequences and media (DigiTranslator re-
quired).
• Share AAF, OMF, and MXF sequences using
the Avid Interplay asset management system
(Avid Interplay system required).
DigiTranslator 2.0
Use DigiTranslator 2.0 to convert AAF sequences
into Pro Tools session files. You can also use it to
export audio material from Pro Tools sessions to
AAF sequences and files for import into other
systems.
Avid Interplay
Avid Interplay with the Pro Tools Avid Interplay
option lets users of Pro Tools, Media Station|PT,
and Avid applications work within the same as-
set management system.
