possible to configure Final Cut Server to automatically perform many tasks. There are
three types of automations: watchers, subscriptions, and schedules. Each of these
automations issues responses when an event occurs. See also

Automation Setup Assistant Final Cut Server System Preferences include an Automation
pane for managing the most common automations you will use. This pane uses
Automation Setup Assistant to create new and edit existing automations. In general, it
is easier to create automations with Automation Setup Assistant than with the client’s
Administration window. The Administration window, however, allows you to create highly
customized automations with settings not available with Automation Setup Assistant.

cache To use an asset from the Final Cut Server catalog on a client’s computer, the
computer must have a local copy of the asset. Final Cut Server maintains a cache area on
the client computer to store the local copies of the assets. You can define the location
and size of the cache in the client’s Preferences window.
client A user interacts with the Final Cut Server catalog by using a Final Cut Server client.
Final Cut Server clients are Java-based applications that can run on computers using
Mac OS X, Windows XP, and Windows Vista operating systems. A Final Cut Server system
can support multiple clients running simultaneously, with licenses supporting ten clients
and unlimited clients available.
Contentbase Contentbase is a Final Cut Server-managed file storage system that places
each asset in a unique folder. The advantage is that there are no issues with identical
filenames overwriting each other. Final Cut Server requires the Proxies and Version devices
to use Contentbase file storage.
device Devices in Final Cut Server are storage locations that you define and configure.
They can be folders in a local volume on the server computer, network volumes, or folders
from an Xsan volume.
Device Setup Assistant Final Cut Server System Preferences include a Devices pane for
managing the most common device types you will use. This pane uses Device Setup
Assistant to create new and edit existing devices. In general, it is easier to create devices
with Device Setup Assistant than with the client’s Administration window, especially since
you are also able to configure scan responses at the same time. The Administration
window, however, allows you to create highly customized devices with settings not
available with Device Setup Assistant. See also
