playout. To add a playout server, click Add, enter the
Name and Drive where the media is stored on the
playout server, and click OK. If you are using mirrored

Playout Servers
Use the Auto Transfer feature to automatically transfer
media from a source (ingest) server to a destination
(playout) server. The Auto Transfer takes place only
when media that is sent to or recorded on the ingest
server is associated with a Playout placeholder that is
part of a MOS-Active rundown. To add an ingest
server, check Auto Transfer, click Add, enter the
name, and click OK. To change the ingest server to a
different server, select the server and click Rename.
A media server can only be either a source or
destination server for Auto Transfer, so the same
media server should never be added to both the
Playout and Ingest sections. If you are not using Auto
Transfer, leave this section blank. Ingest Servers
