Installation and Configuration

Configure the scan settings.
There are two types of scans you can configure: full and add only.
 Full scans examine the device for any changes, including any new, changed, or
removed files. All of these changes are then made to the Final Cut Server catalog. Full
scans are processor intensive and may require significant computer resources to run.
For that reason, they are usually set to run once a day or once a week, and usually at
an otherwise slow time, such as the default time of 12:00 AM.
 Add Only scans are not as thorough as full scans, locating only new and changed files
with a created or modified date between the last time this scan ran and the current
time (it will not see new files with created or modified dates older than when the
scan last ran; for example, files that you dragged to the device from the Finder).
These changes are then made to the Final Cut Server catalog. Because add only scans
are not as processor intensive as full scans, they are configured to run often, such as
at the default frequency of every 15 minutes.
Note: Device Setup Assistant requires you to configure a full scan before you can
configure an add only scan. See “
” on page 195 for more
information you should be aware of when configuring scan responses.
Important:
Scan responses created for a device using Device Setup Assistant will
have versioning disabled, regardless of whether version control was enabled when
you installed Final Cut Server. You can edit the response using the Final Cut Server
client’s Administration window.

Use the Metadata Set pop-up menu to choose a metadata set to assign to assets added
to the Final Cut Server catalog by these scans.
Metadata sets, which are comprised of metadata groups and fields, define the types of
metadata you can add to an asset. You can create custom metadata sets, groups, and
fields using the Final Cut Server client’s Administration window. See Chapter 11,
“
,” on page 135 for more information.
Important:
You cannot assign a different metadata set to an asset later.
