Dear Avid,

With the release of Mediacentral production 2018.9 and Media composer 2018.10 I'd like to request if the

Avid Editor Compatibility with Interplay Releases (time to update the name to Mediacentral?) document

http://resources.avid.com/SupportFiles/Attachments/Interplay_Editor_Compatibility.pdf

can be updated to include the latest versions.

(The current main reason for this is to confirm MC 2018.10 requires MCP 2018.6 or 2018.9 client components.)

Greetings!

Hope I'm in the right forum for this. I'm currently on a show that the producers will have to work remotely for editing. We've been using Vimeo & emails in the past but this year we'd like to look into a more advanced method.

Read about the MediaCentral but have a couple of questions that couldn't find the answers on the website and hope someone could share some insight.

       We're currently on Media Composer 8.9.4. Would MediaCentral work with that?

       Our media server is Editshare based. Does MediaCentral require any (Nexis) hardware to work or just a matter of setting up a software?

We basically just need a web interface for the producers to look at our cuts and give notes. If anyone could share some experience with it that'd be awesome.

Thanks so much!

Hi,

We have Avid Media Central | UX vervion 2.10.x , in the media distribute we need to configure a profile to post videos on your youtube page.

The confusion is all about Redirect URI. 

If any one can guide.

Dear Interplay users,

I'd like to ask if others that have an Interplay system in which they use redundant switches can test a simple scenario.

On an idle activated by the application manager Interplay product, it doesn't matter which, Transcode, production services, Transfer, that is connected by 2 Teamed 1G network connections disconnect the first nic, to simulate a primairy switch failure. Now restart that server. Does the product still activate? If so reconnect the first nic and disconnect the second and restart again.

What I'm seeing is that the application manager for interplay products, just like MC, activates on the basis of 1 MAC address of the 'first' NIC it finds (the one with the lowest ifindex) during activation. If that NIC goes down the product does not activate the next time it is started. But this is such an elementary part of functional redundancy that I can't believe this is actually true.

That the application manager on the MC client side does not support dual NIC teaming for device ID creation from 2 MAC adresses for activation I can deal with, although that should also work IMHO. But on the server's side?

Thanks.

What is the current recommendation for source file count? Is it still 500K? Even for a dedicated MI server?

Thanks,

I edit a novel where they use Sony f55 cameras and managed through silverstack. We use Glookast to import and Interplay to make master-clips available to publishers. The Bin FPS column is empty, however in the SIlverstack .pdf report, the value is there, 24fps, 60fps etc.

How do I get the fps information to appear in the fps column of the bin?

Thank you.

Hi All,

Been having some issues setting up a Interplay Failover Cluster 2017.2

Having completed WG433 I am pretty confident, however hit several issues along the way.

Following documnetation has been followed to setup the Windows Servers, Adjust DNS Settings prerequisites, and HP MSA 2050 configuration.

I have also been asked to ensure that the domain account NXN user has manually been added to the adminstrators group on both client machines before proceeding with with the interplay 2017.2 installation.

Also it was advised that i use ASDT before proceeding, to clear any failiures.

I was told that ASDT may flag the following but to ignore IPV6 – this should not be disabled on a Cluster node. It may also flag the that the Remote Registry service should be disabled and again this should not be disabled on a cluster node.

Errors i recieved are at the final steps during the interplay cluster 2017.2 installation around 95% onwards.

it fails to

1 - Setup the file server error 5007 (the installer could not add file server IPENG as a dependency to the Avid Workgroup Monitor resource) 

2 - The installed could not bring Avid Workgroup Name resource online error 5023

3 - the installer could not assign WG_Database$ to the MyShare Preperty of the file server IPENG Error 5007

4 - The installed could not create the Satabase Share on the Avid Workgroup Disk resource

I have confirmed that i can see the (S:) on the node which i am running the installation from and can read/write to it.

Any advice on this would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hey all-

Is there any way to tag a few folders as my favorites in the Production Management Window?  We are a large network with several productions happening.  Every time I start AMC I have to scroll through the entire server tree and open the folders I want, but there are only 3 that I go to every day.

Any way to streamline this that I'm missing?

Thanks!
