MediaFrame stage
NOTE: The MediaFrame server must host the NTFS MDI.
The ASK settings page registers the logical names for the MDIs and Encoders
required by your MediaFrame system with the ASK software component, which runs
on the MediaFrame server.
Note the following distinction when entering “Hostname or IP”:
• For MDIs (K2, Profile, M-Series, News, Proxy, NTFS, Archive) enter the
hostname of the machine hosting the MDI software component, rather than the
hostname of the machine being managed by the MDI.
• For Encoders (Advanced Encoder, SmartBin Encoder) enter the hostname of the
encoder itself.
