Video Satellite Guide26
Choosing a Storage
Configuration
While it is possible to cross-mount both the au-
dio and video storage on both systems at the
same time, the workflows in this chapter only
require that you cross-mount one or the other.
Mounting the video storage on the Pro Tools
system is the preferred configuration for most
common satellite workflows.
Mount the audio storage on the satellite system
if you frequently use any of the following work-
flows:
• You receive updated versions of AAF se-
quences with additional audio files.
• You export audio from Pro Tools for import
into Media Composer or Symphony.
• Your satellite system is connected to a shared
storage system, but your Pro Tools system is
not.
• Your satellite system is connected to Avid In-
terplay, but your Pro Tools system is not.

age for mounting on remote computers.
