4.6.9. How to Send a Clip to an Avid System Using
the AVID Transfer Manager
To send a clip to an Avid system using the Transfer Manager, proceed as follows:
1. Right-click the clip line or XT clip line corresponding to the clip you want to send to
Avid.
The clip contextual menu is displayed.
2. Select Send To from the clip contextual menu and select a predefined Avid TM target
from the Send To > Avid sub menu.
Once the clip has been sent, it is immediately available in an Avid (When an Asset
management system is in use, like Interplay or media Manager). It can then be inserted
into a bin and can be inserted into an edit.
Note
With Avid and FCP targets, the hi-res element is sent, with a priority on the XT
clip.
Required Configuration for Transfer
Clips can be sent via two different paths to an Avid system:
• The first method is to send them through the XNet network and then through the GigE
network between the Avid device and XFile. This method must be used if the EVS
video servers are not GigE equipped.
• The second and newer method would send the media directly from the EVS video
servers Gigabit Ethernet ports to the AVID TM initiated by an instruction to an
installed XTAccess application.
The network used for the transfer depends on the setup. For more information, refer to the
Technical Reference manual.
The Avid destination targets are predefined from the IPDirector Remote Installer. The
name used to define the type of transfer is user-definable and may be different from the
Avid target used in the screenshot above. Refer to the IPDirector Remote Installer manual
for more information.
Avid TM, XFile and XTAccess components must have been correctly configured in order
to automate this procedure. Please refer to the corresponding user's manual for more
information.
