About transferring media

You can transfer media to and from the Turbo iDDR as streaming media, using the

Import Stream

and the

Send to Stream

features. The iDDR supports streaming media

transfers over the 1Gb Ethernet port. The source or destination for a streaming transfer
must be another Turbo iDDR or M-Series iDDR. (Requires M-Series software
version 2.0.10 or higher.) The format for Turbo iDDR streaming is SMPTE 360M
(*.gxf). You must configure your network for streaming transfers prior to using these
features. See

Chapter 6, Using an Ethernet connection on page 271

A transfer job is created for each “import” or “send to” operation. Once created,
transfer jobs are added to the transfer job queue where they are dispatched in a first
in, first out basis. Transfer jobs are handled in the order they appear in the queue. Any
additional jobs wait in the queue. You can use the Transfer Monitor to check the status
of your transfers.
