Adding a Device Using Device Setup Assistant
Final Cut Server supports six types of devices when you are using Device Setup
Assistant in Final Cut Server System Preferences:
Local: Â Local devices include drives that are connected directly to the Final Cut Server
computer. These can include additional internal hard disks as well as connected
FireWire or USB drives.
Network AFP:
 These are network-connected shares using the Apple Filing Protocol (AFP).
Network SMB/CIFS: Â These are network-connected shares using the Server Message
Block (SMB) and Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocols. These are usually
Windows-based servers.
Network NFS:
 These are network-connected shares using the Network File System
(NFS) protocol.
Network FTP:
 These are network-connected shares using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
Xsan: Â These are devices that are located on an Apple Xsan storage area network.
Each device can have scan and transcode settings configured.
Scan settings define how often Final Cut Server examines the device to see if any
content has changed. This is an optional setting.
Scan settings you configure using Device Setup Assistant create one or more schedules
and one or more scan responses. These schedules and responses appear in the
Final Cut Server client’s Administration window in the Schedule and Response panes.
