Apple Final Cut Server 1.5 - Manual (Page 77)

Chapter 6 Using Device Setup Assistant 77
The drawbacks of using Device Setup Assistant are that you do not have access to
some of the more esoteric settings and that you cannot configure several device types,
such as a device using a Contentbase file system or an edit-in-place device that does
not use an Xsan volume. However, you can modify a device created with Device Setup
Assistant in the Administration window, configuring the more esoteric settings.
Contentbase devices do not appear in the Devices pane of Final Cut Server Important:
System Preferences. All other devices, including those created by the installer and using
the client’s Administration window, appear in the Devices pane of Final Cut Server
System Preferences.
About Creating Devices Using the Administration Window
The Devices pane of the Administration window gives you access to more device
settings than Device Setup Assistant. Most users, however, do not require these
settings, although they can be useful in some situations. The Administration window
is the only place that you can configure devices using the Contentbase file system or
non-Xsan based edit-in-place devices.
Although you can configure network devices with the Administration window, it is
more difficult with its variety of settings.
