NOTE: If you are exporting NewsBrowse EDLs to NewsEdit, the NewsEdit
workstation must be able to resolve the Profile MDI name (present in the EDL) to
the IP address of the Profile XP system to which the MDI connects. The
recommended solution is to map the MDI name to the Profile IP address in the
NewsEdit workstation’s host table. Another option is to name the Profile MDI name
the same as the Profile host name, but this is only an option for systems in their
initial configuration, before any customer assets have been added.
