Supported Avid Interplay | Transfer Configurations
Avid Interplay | Transfer supports three configurations (as noted in the Avid ReadMe):
• A dedicated Interplay | Transfer server connected to an Interplay environment with
a shared storage system, such as ISIS (see Figure 23 below).
• Standalone Interplay | Transfer software installed on an Avid editing system, con-
nected to Avid shared storage without an Avid Interplay Engine. Each client must
install both Interplay | Transfer and Interplay | Transfer client software (see
Figure 24, next page).
• Standalone Interplay | Transfer software installed on an Avid editing system with
local storage (see Figure 25, next page).
The following diagrams depict these Avid systems, including key software components.
