Using the Avid AAF Encoder with Interplay
To use the AAF encoder with Interplay, certain Avid components must be installed and
configured. Certain information is also required, when you create Vantage workflows.
Note: When the Interplay container is selected, the Output Location settings are not
used. The media files are delivered to the workspace and folder specified in Asset
Attributes.

Required Avid Components
• Avid Interplay must be installed, configured, and running.
• Avid Interplay Web Services must be installed, configured, and running.
• Avid shared storage, such as ISIS, must be installed and configured.
• The ISIS workspace/directory must be indexed by the Avid Media Indexer.
• An AAF directory and an Avid MediaFiles directory must exist in the Avid storage
workspace.
• The Avid MediaFiles\MXF directory for the Workspace must be indexed by the Avid
Media Indexer.
Note: To avoid potential problems, the AAF folder should not be in a folder or path
that is indexed by the Interplay Media Indexer.
• The Avid ISIS client must be installed and configured on all Vantage domain servers
deploying to Interplay, with proper credentials for read/write access to the required
Avid workspaces.
• Workspaces must be mounted as UNC paths.
Note: The Avid ISIS client requires an interactive session to the desktop. This means
that the user must be logged in, and that the logged in user must be the same user
that is used for the Vantage Services. The credentials must match in Interplay as well as
ISIS, and must include administrative rights.
• Interplay output folders must have already been created. Vantage cannot create
Interplay folders.
Note: Telestream recommends connecting to Interplay and Web Services using a
fully-qualified DNS name, which is registered with Forward and Reverse look up tables
in DNS.
