Servers that record and store the high-res media. The NewsBrowse system depends
on the Profile MDI to make high-res media assets visible across the system.
For the EDL stage, configure the settings related to the EDL Conform to air feature.
Specify one of more on-air Profiles as the targets to which conformed high-res clips
can be transferred for playout.
For other settings, refer to “Configure Profile MDIs” on page 57 .
