Chapter 3 Configuring the NewsBrowse System
Configure Proxy MDI
This page configures the Managed Device Interface (MDI) for the NAS machines that
store the low-res proxy. The NewsBrowse system depends on the Proxy MDI to make
proxy visible across the system.
For the Proxy MDI, there is but one managed device, with the logical name PROXY1.
This managed device can have multiple locations. The Media directory on each NAS
machine is entered as a location. Other directories can be entered as locations as well.
In this way the Proxy MDI knows where to look for the low-res proxy.
