2 Choose Contentbase from the Device Type pop-up menu.
Choose Contentbase.
The Configuration pane for a Contentbase device type contains the following items:
• Device Name: Enter a descriptive name for the device.
• Local Directory: Enter the root path for this device as it appears to the Final Cut Server
server. For example: /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Final Cut Server/Contentbase Device/.
• 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/
After you enter the URI, the path will be changed to:
• file://[localhost]/[volumename]/[optional subfolder]
An example is:
• file:///Volumes/MediaServer/Images/
After entering the example above, you will see:
• file://localhost/Volumes/MediaServer/Images
Note: See About Edit-in-Place Devices for more information about edit-in-place devices.
• Windows edit-in-place URI: Enter the URI for editing media from a Windows client directly
on the device, instead of downloading and editing it on the client. The device must
also be accessible as a network share from the client. The format is:
• file:////hostname/path/
An example is:
• file:////MediaServer/Images/
