Ingest Support to be installed on the Media Browse server running the

AirSpeed service. This service allows Media Browse to re-transfer media

between the AirSpeed and Avid Unity MediaNetwork in the event of a failed

clip transfer.

Default Time Setting

AirSpeeds are shipped from Avid with the default time zone set to Greenwich

Mean Time (GMT). After changing the time as described in the Avid AirSpeed

Installation and User’s Guide. You must click Shutdown and select “Restart

User Interface” or “Restart Entire System” before the AirSpeed UI reflects the

new time.

Hardware and Software Requirements

Network IP Addresses

When setting up the AirSpeed, you must use a static IP address. Dynamic Host

Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is not supported in the initial release of

AirSpeed. The “Obtain IP Address Automatically” described in the Avid

AirSpeed Installation and Setup Guide has been removed from the AirSpeed

UI for the initial release. For more information see, “AirSpeed UI Changes” on

page 18.

Features Not Supported in the Initial Release

This initial release of AirSpeed supports capturing media through the serial

digital interface (SDI) directly into workspaces on the Avid Unity

MediaNetwork. A future release will add the capability of playing the media

out as a media server. The following are the features not supported in the

initial release:

nSome of these functions might already be described in the Avid AirSpeed

Installation and User’s Guide. This guide will be updated when the features

become fully functional.

• Play out, and functions associated with playing out

• General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) connector

•Sony

®remote control protocol using BVW slave deck control operations

• DVCAM PAL 4:2:0 is not supported

• Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector (not used)

The Avid AirSpeed Installation and Setup Guide states that software

updates are performed using the USB connector. Although some

manufacturing functions can be performed through the USB connector,

the software updates are performed through the network as described in

the guide. The use of a USB keyboard or mouse is not supported on the

USB connector.

Version 1.0 Release Notes

AirSpeed I/O Peripheral Applications

An Avid AirSpeed I/O Peripheral CD-ROM is included with the AirSpeed

enclosure. The CD-ROM includes Avid FlightPlan, Avid Pilot, Remote UI,

and Editor Ingest Support. FlightPlan and Pilot have an online Help with the

application. A hardcopy of the Avid AirSpeed FlightPlan and Pilot User’s

Guide is included with the AirSpeed. The Remote UI is an application that

provides remote access to the AirSpeed UI Setup settings. These settings are

described in the Avid AirSpeed Installation and Setup Guide. Editor Ingest

Support installs a file needed for accessing the AirSpeed from a remote

network client.

cThe AirSpeed I/O Peripheral applications cannot be installed on the

systems that have the AirSPACE applications installed: LaunchPad™and

MissionControl™.

Updating Software

The AirSpeed software upgrade process documented in the Avid AirSpeed

Installation and User’s Guide requires an .iso file on the network which can be

reached via a Web browser. Since the Avid Unity MediaManager runs a Web

server, Avid recommends you use your MediaManager to provide such a

directory.

Before you can update your AirSpeed software through the network using the

AirSpeed UI, you need to create a Web server directory on your Avid Unity

MediaManager server.

To set up a web server directory on your MediaManager:

1. On the MediaManager desktop, right-click My Computer and select

Manage.

2. In the Computer Management window, expand Services and Applications

> Internet Information Services > Default Web Site.

3. Right-click the OMM object and select Properties.

4. In the Properties dialog, check the Directory Browsing checkbox under

Local Path.

5. Note the directory path shown in the Local Path box.

Supported Resolutions and Configurations

6. Click OK.

This allows you to browse to the c:/omm directory level and below.

7. In Windows Explorer, navigate to the directory shown in the Local Path

box, noted above. (This is typically c:/omm.)

8. In the omm directory, create a directory named “airspeed.”

9. Copy the AirSpeed_nn.iso file into the airspeed directory.

cIf you rename the AirSpeed .iso file, you must follow the naming

requirements listed in the Software Tab section of the Avid AirSpeed

Installation and User’s Guide.

Supported Resolutions and Configurations

AirSpeed v1.0 supports the following resolutions:

•DV25

•DV50

• IMX (MPEG 50)

The following list provides the maximum qualified configurations:

• Ten AirSpeed enclosures can simultaneously capture DV 25 on a

PortServer Pro II or LANshare EX at a time. Five AirSpeed enclosures

can simultaneously capture DV 50 on a PortServer Pro II or

LANshare EX at a time.

• Twenty AirSpeed enclosures can simultaneously capture DV 25 on a

Avid Unity system. Ten AirSpeed enclosures can simultaneously

capture DV 50 on a Avid Unity system. This requires at least two

PortServer Pro II or LANshare EX systems.

Version 1.0 Release Notes

•Table 1 list the combination of AirSpeeds and Avid editing systems

that have been qualified on a PortServer Pro II or a LANshare EX

while simultaneously capturing and editing.

nWhen recording DV 50 or MPEG 50 media, you are using twice the

bandwidth of DV 25. Therefore half the amount of AirSpeeds can

simultaneously record DV 50 or MPEG 50 than when recording DV 25.

nCapturing for 24 hours does not mean one 24-hour master clip but

multiple master clips totaling 24 hours with a maximum of 3 hours per

clip.

• The AirSpeed can run for 24 hours per day for 7 days a week (eight,

3-hour capturing per day).

• The maximum capturing time is 3 hours. Avid editing systems cannot

open a clip that exceeds 3 hours.

Special Notes

This section contains important information about the operation of the

AirSpeed in your workgroup environment.

Keyboard, Video, Mouse Switches

Some Raritan™keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) switches fail to operate

the AirSpeed correctly when using the newer thin 4 meter Raritan cables.

To achieve the best performance from your AirSpeed, Avid recommends

that you power cycle your AirSpeed once a week (7 days). Power cycling

the AirSpeed refreshes the memory.

3-Button Mouse

The middle button on a 3-button mouse can perform illegal actions and cause

errors when used with the AirSpeed UI. Do not use a 3-button mouse with

AirSpeed.

Network Changes Using the AirSpeed UI

Any changes made in the Setup > Network tab of the AirSpeed UI, will

require you to restart the AirSpeed. You must click Shutdown and select

“Restart Entire System.”

LTC Input and Output

The Longitudinal Timecode (LTC) connectors on the rear of the AirSpeed are

designed to accept a valid LTC input and pass the signal through to the LTC

Out 1 connector. This connection is used to daisy-chain the LTC signal to

other devices. The LTC Out 2 functionality has not been implemented in the

initial release of AirSpeed.

Version 1.0 Release Notes

Audio Sample Rates

When sharing media in a workgroup environment or playing out media on

another device, make sure you select the audio sample rate that is compatible

with your playout device. If you capture media with AirSpeed that contains

24-bit audio and attempt to transfer the 24-bit audio tracks to a device that is

designed for 16-bit audio, errors might appear.

Static Mounted Workspaces

Avid recommends you use static mounted workspaces with the AirSpeed. You

must disable dynamically mount workspaces on the Avid Unity PortServer.

To disable dynamic mounted workspaces:

1. Log in to your Avid Unity PortServer.

2. Double-click PortServerConfiguration.exe in the following location:

drive:\Program Files\Avid Technology\AvidUnity\PortServerStartup

The Avid Unity PortServer Service Configuration window opens.

3. Uncheck “Enable dynamic mounting of MediaNetwork workspaces” if

selected.

4. Click OK and log off the Avid Unity PortServer.

DNS Server Not Used

The AirSpeed does not display a warning that transfers and check-ins will fail

when you deselect the “Use Following DNS Server” in the Setup > Network

tab. The DNS server allows you to use DNS names to identify the

MediaManager and PortServer in the Setup > Send tab.

When a DNS server is not used, type in the IP addresses of the MediaManager

and PortServer in the Setup > Send tab.

Leave AirSpeed Capture Ready

Control the AirSpeed using one method at a time. To be more specific, if you

have scheduled captures using CaptureManager™, be aware that simultaneous

use of other control applications such as Pilot and the AirSpeed UI can create

conflicts which will result in scheduled feeds not being captured.
