180 Part II General Administration
 Server Path: Enter the path that the server exports for use as the root path. This
applies only to nonlocal devices.
 User: Enter your user name in this field to log in automatically to the server on every
attempted server access, such as searching and copying.
 Password: Enter the password that goes with the above User entry. Leave this field
blank if the User field is blank.
 Verify: Retype the password entered above.
 Show Dot-files: Select this checkbox to display all files beginning with a dot or period
(.) on directory listings and searches. Otherwise these files are not visible.
Important: Do not select this option unless specifically required.
 Text encoding: Choose the type of text encoding used on the device from this pop-up
menu. Final Cut Server supports a wide range of text encodings, including many of
the common Chinese, Korean, and Japanese encodings. See “
About Unicode Support ”
on page 124 for more information.
 Metadata Sync Policy: From this pop-up menu, choose the policy by which metadata
is synchronized between Final Cut Server and the device. See “ Metadata
Synchronization Policy ” on page 156 for more information.
 Generate Thumbnails: Select this checkbox to generate thumbnails of images when
using Search Devices from the Server pop-up menu (the pop-up menu in the
Final Cut Server main window that appears when you click the Server button). The
thumbnail images appear when you view an image’s details, by either double-clicking
its filename or Control-clicking the filename and choosing View Details from the
shortcut menu. This allows you to see the image without having to create an asset for
it in the Final Cut Server catalog. See “
Searching Devices ” on page 182 for more
information on using the Search Devices feature.
 Macintosh edit-in-place URI: Enter the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for editing
media from a Macintosh client directly on the device, instead of downloading and
editing it on the client. The device must also be accessible as a mounted file system
from the client. The format is:
 file:///Volumes/volumename/optionalsubfolder/
An example is:
 file:///Volumes/MediaServer/Images/
