New Features in Release 4.0

The AirPlay MP 4.0 coincides with MediaServerª Release 2.0. Com- patibility issues were addressed and bugs were Þxed. The user interface remained the same.

Hardware and Software Requirements

System

AirPlay MP 4.0 runs on a properly conÞgured Avid Media Processor, running Macintosh¨ System Software 7.5.5.

Disk Drives

The conÞguration needs at least one of the following qualiÞed disk drives: ¥ 9-GB Avid MediaDrive ¥ 9-GB RMAG XL drive

Boards

These boards are required: ¥ Compression: Advanced JPEG Revision 10 or Revision 11a ¥ Video: Avid Broadcast Video Board (ABVB), with optional analog or digital video I/O board ¥ Audio: SA 4

¥ SCSI accelerator: ATTO SiliconExpress IV single-ended SCSI adapter board Revision 10 or ATTO SiliconExpress 4D differential SCSI adapter board Revision 10

Storage

One of the following devices for disk storage is desirable: ¥ AvidRAID MX-500 ¥ AVIDdriveª Fixed Rack-mount System

Compatibility with Prior Releases

AirPlay MP Release 4.0 reads AVR 70 media created in previous releases. It accepts bins from Releases 3.6, 3.11, 3.1, and 3.0.

The following caveats apply to backward compatibility: ¥ Once you create media in AirPlay MP Release 4.0, you cannot open that media again in any version earlier than AirPlay Release 3.6. ¥ Bins and playlists from AirPlay Release 3.11 are compatible with AirPlay MP Release 4.0. However, media created in AirPlay Release 3.11 (AVR 26 media) is not compatible with AirPlay MP Release 4.0. You must rerecord the media. ¥ If you record new material into AirPlay MP 4.0, you cannot launch a previous version until you hide this new media by renaming the 5.x MediaFiles folder on each drive partition.

You can use clips and stories that were created earlier than Release 3.0 by following these steps: 1. Delete the media Þles and save the project and bins on a 3.5-inch diskette.

2. Install AirPlay MP 4.0, following the directions in ÒInstalling the SoftwareÓon page 7. 3. Copy the bins from the diskette to your Avid Projects folder. 4. Batch record the clips and stories in AirPlay MP Release 4.0 to re- create the media Þles. For information on batch recording, refer to the AirPlay MP UserÕs Guide.

Compatibility with Other Avid Products

AirPlay MP Release 4.0 is fully compatible with Avid NewsCutter¨ Release 4.0.

AirPlay MP Release 4.0 is compatible with Media Composer¨ Release 6.0 (using AVR 70 media). It is also compatible with Media Composer Release 6.5 (NuBus¨) and Release 5.6 (NuVista+¨), and MCXpressª for Macintosh¨, Release 1.5.

Compatibility with ITU-R BT.601 (CCIR601) and SMPTE 125

The Avid Broadcast Video Board (ABVB) complies with ITU-R 601 and SMPTE 125M in that it samples Y at 13.5 MHz and the U and V signals at 6.75 MHz. Further, video is quantized with black at digital 16, white at digital 235, footroom below black down to digital 1, and headroom above white to digital 254. All these parameters are as speciÞed in ITU 601 and SMPTE 125M.

To use NewsCutter in conjunction with AirPlay MP, the AirPlay MP system must be adjusted to the operating standard so that digital 235 produces a 100-IRE output.

Installing the Software

The AirPlay MP Release 4.0 system is supplied with the software already installed. Continue to ÒDocumentation ChangesÓon page 17 if Release 4.0 is already installed on your system. If you are upgrading from a previous AirPlay release, follow the instructions in this section. To save a backup copy of the old version of AirPlay, create a folder called Old AirPlay on the Avid disk, then drag the old version of Air- Play Þles to the folder. You can use CompactProª to compact the Þles on diskettes.

Updating the Macintosh System Software

New Avid Media Processor systems automatically include Macintosh System 7.5.5. If you are upgrading an older system, you might need to update your Macintosh system software. Remove the following extension and control panels that System 7.5.5 automatically installed. They might cause problems with AirPlay MP: ¥ Apple¨ CD-ROM ¥ Apple Photo Access ¥ Color Picker extension ¥ IIci/IIsi monitor extensions ¥ Macintosh Quadra¨ AV Monitor extensions ¥ All PowerBook extensions and control panels ¥ SCSI Manager 4.3 from the extensions folder ¥ All QuickDraw GX¨ extension and control panels

Installing the AirPlay MP Software

To install the AirPlay MP software:

1. Quit all open applications. 2. Insert the Þrst 3.5-inch installation diskette. 3. Double-click the AirPlay Installer icon. 4. Select Click here to continue or press Return to exit the splash screen. The Installer dialog box appears.

Avid Disk

5. Drag the AirPlay icon to the Avid Disk icon (the Macintosh hard drive). The installation starts. The Macintosh system ejects the Þrst disk and prompts for each disk in turn, using all disks. When the installation is complete, a dialog box appears.

6. Click Restart to restart your Macintosh.

Installing the AVIDinit Extension

AVIDinit provides several functions to ensure that the ATTO Silicon- Express board communicates correctly with the storage system. AVIDinit also allocates additional memory for the system software, reducing the possibility that the system will run out of memory and display performance problems. c Do not install both AVIDinit and AVIDstartup on your system. Three versions of AVIDinit are provided. By default, the system installs AVIDinit_A. This is the correct init for AirPlay MP Release 4.0, if you are using an Advanced JPEG (Janus) board. Use the other inits for these conditions: ¥ Install AVIDinit _B if you are not using an Advanced JPEG board and are not using removable magnetic drives. ¥ Install AVIDinit_C only if you are using removable magnetic drives.

Install the init by dragging the init icon from the Utilities folder on the Avid disk to the Extensions folder in the System folder. n Install only one version of init. Remove any inappropriate versions.

You must restart your system to launch the init. However, you can defer the restart until you Þnish the installations and conÞguration.

Running Pro Tools

The Þrst time you run your system, use the Pro Tools¨ software to conÞgure your audio hardware correctly. 1. Double-click your Utilities folder to open it. This folder is stored on your Avid disk. 2. Double-click the Pro Tools Setup icon. The Pro Tools Setup window appears.

Slot will vary based on system conﬁguration

3. ConÞgure the Pro Tools Setup window in one of the following ways: ¥ If you are using digital audio inputs, change the Sync Mode to Digital, the Digital Format to AES/EBU, and the CH 1, 2 Input to Digital. Select Digital as the Sync Mode only if the system will have continuous access to a digital sync signal. Any break in the sync signal will prevent successful system operation.

¥ If you are using Analog audio inputs, conÞgure the Pro Tools Setup window as shown in step 2. However, choose the Card slot number that is being used for your system. 4. Click Recalibrate Inputs. 5. Click OK.

Checking the Installation

The AirPlay ConÞguration Checker checks for the required supporting Þles, control panels, and software each time you launch the software.

You can display all information about the conÞguration, or only the information about conÞguration tests that did not pass: ¥ To display all the information, activate the ConÞguration Check window and choose Full Listing from the Edit menu or press kÐL. ¥ To display only logged problems, choose Brief Listing from the Edit menu or press kÐK.

If INIT conßicts or hardware problems are found when the application is launching, a dialog box appears, similar to the following.

¥ Click Abort to stop the software from launching.

¥ Click OK to launch AirPlay MP. The software will launch, but you might experience problems during operation. ¥ Click Save to save the conÞguration report.

Contact Customer Support if problems occur when you launch AirPlay MP.

Conﬁguration Settings

This section describes some conÞgurations to help achieve optimum AirPlay MP performance.

Conﬁguring Memory

Follow these steps to optimize record and playback performance: 1. Choose Control Panels from the Apple menu. A window appears. 2. Double-click Memory. The memory dialog box appears.

3. ConÞgure the memory settings as follows: a. Set the Cache Size to 32K. n Setting the Cache Size greater than 32K can degrade playback and record performance.

b. Turn on Modern Memory Manager. c. Turn off Virtual Memory. d. Turn off RAM Disk. 4. Restart the computer, or Þnish the RAM and color conÞgurations and then restart. 5. Restart the computer, or Þnish the color conÞgurations and then restart.

Conﬁguring the Color Settings

The Þrst time you run your system, follow these steps to set color settings:

1. From the Apple menu, choose Control Panels. 2. Double-click Monitors. The Monitors dialog box appears. 3. Click the monitor icon and choose Millions of Colors. 4. Restart the computer.

Setting the Avid Project Folder as Default

Projects and bins do not default to the Avid Projects Folder if the Mac- intosh operating system is set to default Þles at the top level of your local hard drive. To correct this situation, follow these steps: 1. From the Apple pull-down menu at the top left of your desktop, select Control Panels, then General Controls. 2. Under Documents, select Folder which contains the application.

Subsequently, the projects and bins will be located in the Avid Projects folder.

Fixed Bugs in Release 4.0

This section describes the bugs that are Þxed in AirPlay MP Release 4.0. The descriptions are in alphabetical order, by subject.

Bins ✔ When you created a new bin by using the Sift Selected command from the Bin menu, chose Set Bin display from the Bin menu, and selected Show Reference Clips, the system cleared the sift and displayed all the clips in the bin. The sift now works properly and the system shows the reference clips.

Clocks ✔ The clocks that appear on the user interface were not always updating properly. The clocks update properly now.

Consolidating Subclips ✔ Consolidating master clips by using the Delete Originals option no longer causes a fatal-error message.

Deck Control ✔ With a V-LAN¨ VLXi, when a clip or external event crossed the timecode 00;00;00;00, the tape prerolled with an ÒIllegal duration from transportÓ error. This no longer occurs. ✔ Recording when a deck is disconnected no longer causes an SIO Timeout error. The application displays a message indicating that no deck is connected.

18 Loop Mode ✔ Loop Mode is supported on systems that include a Janus board (also known as an advanced JPEG board).

Master Clips ✔ In previous releases, when you dragged a master clip directly from the Media Tool to a playlist, the media would appear ofßine. The clip can now be placed directly in the playlist and will playback without the media ofßine warning.

Master Warning List ✔ Displaying the master warning list while playing would occasionally cause a video underrun. Displaying the master warning list, no longer causes underruns.

Playlists ✔ Playlists were not exporting correctly. Playlists can be exported correctly in this release.

✔ Headframe views were not being saved in the playlist. Once you closed the playlist, the headframe would default back to the Þrst frame in the event. Headframe views are now saved correctly in the playlist.

Standby Mode ✔ If you rearranged the playlist while in Standby mode, the control panel monitor would sometimes go blank. This has been Þxed.

User Interface ✔ Occasionally a gray line appeared across the user interface monitor. This has been Þxed.

19 Occasionally the frames that appear in Frame View or Journalist View appeared corrupted. The frames now display correctly.

Known Bugs

AirPlay Application ✘ The AirPlay MP application and supporting Þles should not be stored on a disk partition that also contains media Þles. AirPlay MP does not recognize media stored on the same partition as the application. The AirPlay MP application should be stored on the internal Avid drive; media Þles cannot be stored on the internal drive.

As Run Logs ✘ As Run Logs do not automatically upload to a trafÞc and billing system. AirPlay MP Release 4.0 does not support line-by-line uploading or printing. You can, however, print the entire As Run Log from AirPlay MP. ✘ External event information is not logged in the As Run Log.

Audio Marks ✘ If you set marks in a clip in NewsCutter, the marks are saved when you transfer the clip to AirPlay MP. NewsCutter allows you to set sep- arate IN and OUT points for your video and audio, but AirPlay MP ignores the pink audio marks. NewsCutter also allows you to set memory markers called locators. The red locator marks are also ignored by AirPlay MP.

20 Audio Scrubbing ✘ If you scrub audio and video very quickly, you might not hear the audio.

Workaround: Slow down the scrubbing when you monitor the audio. Backup ✘ Avid does not recommend using digital linear tapes (DLTs) for back- ing up AirPlay MP systems. The backup rate to these units is 16 min- utes per gigabyte.

Batch Recording ✘ A DISK_MAGIC error might appear when you batch record clips in an open playlist. Batch recording items in an open playlist can also result in the Þrst clip being recorded, but the following clips containing audio only and no video.

Workaround: Do not rerecord clips with the playlist open.

Bins ✘ In previous releases, when you checked out a bin from the MediaSer- ver, and your local drive was almost full, you received the message ÒUnable to open bin.Ó The message does not indicate the real problem.

Workaround: If you receive this message, check the space on your local hard drive. Clear space if necessary, and try to check out the bin again. ✘ Do not name bins AP Ofßine bin. AirPlay MP creates a bin with this name to store templates. If you create an AP Ofßine bin, it could replace the original. ✘ When you select a frame in Frame view, then move the clip to another bin, the frame reverts to the Þrst frame of the clip.

21 ✘ Occasionally, no clips appear in a bin. If you select a different view of the same bin, clips are visible.

Workaround: If a bin appears to contain no clips, select another bin view to double-check. ✘ If you delete Custom or Statistics bin view from the Project window, you cannot choose either view again. To correct this problem, create a new project.

Clips Not Created ✘ When Record Tool Fields in Record Settings is set to ID# and Internal Timecode generator is selected in the Record Tool, clips may not be created if you change from non-drop-frame to drop-frame format and record to the same tape ID.

Workaround: Do not mix drop-frame and non-drop-frame formats using the same tape ID.

Clips Without Tape ID ✘ If you create and archive a clip without a tape ID and restore the archive with Restore ofßine media only selected, the clip is restored even if it is online. Without a tape ID, AirPlay MP cannot recognize that the clips are related.

Consolidating Subclips ✘ When you use the Delete Originals option to consolidate subclips, the media Þles for the source master clips are deleted.

Deck Control ✘ If your system has a very slow-cueing deck connected with a V-LAN VLXi, recording can generate a timeout error before the deck starts.

22 Workaround: Increase the timeout delay with a Console command, as follows: a. Open the Console window. b. Type vlanSetCueTime n, where n indicates the duration of the delay. An appropriate number is 30 seconds. c. Press Return. This setting lasts until you quit the AirPlay MP application; you have to reset the delay each time AirPlay MP is launched. The only known problem is the PAL EVO-9850.

Delete ✘ When you delete sources Ñ for example, the icon for a tape Ñ the sources reappear in the bin if they are referenced by master clips or stories. ✘ If you delete clips with video and A1 from the Media Tool, the Delete dialog box highlights Delete n Audio File(s) but not Delete n Video File(s). Both check boxes should be available. c Do not use the Finder to delete single items from the Media Files folder; use the Finder only to delete everything in the folder. In general, you should use the Media Tool to manage Þles in the Media Files folder.

Digital Recording ✘ Clicking the 1-Frame-Forward and 1-Frame-Backward buttons in the Record Tool occasionally causes the system to hang. This problem occurs only with certain decks (for example, the BVW 70). ✘ The Deck status indicator is one action behind during batch record. For example, the deck status displays ÒprerollingÓ after the preroll is complete.

23 ✘ If you record from a source tape without Audio 2 and enable the Audio 2 track selector in the Record Tool, Audio 2 creates popping noises in the clip.

The popping occurs under the following conditions: ¥ When you switch from a player to the Record Tool ¥ When you switch between players ¥ When you play in players ¥ When you close the Record Tool or a player

Workaround: Do not record A2 unless A2 is on your source. ✘ When you are recording very complex video, ÒVideo Too ComplexÓ occasionally appears. This message appears when there are very complex regions in an otherwise simple background.

Workaround: Adjust the Setup and Gain levels in the Video Tool window, or reduce the video level from the deck. If you still see the message, choose Reduced from the detail pop-up menu in the Record Tool window. Normally this setting is left at Full.

Exiting AirPlay ✘ If you exit AirPlay during a rescan bins operation, the system might hang.

Workaround: Do not quit AirPlay while a rescanning bins operation is in process.

External Events ✘ External events require a V-LAN VLX. The system controls only the GVG 10 x 1 switcher for router switching. The tested conÞguration uses a GVG Performer series 10 x 1 router as the external switcher. External switcher control is not supported except through external events. For example, you cannot control a deck through a pause event.

24 ✘ When you create external events in a playlist, you cannot name the deck.

GPIs ✘ General Purpose Interfaces (GPIs) are not frame accurate. The accu- racy is within a few frames, but variable.

✘ GPIs cannot be embedded before the mark IN or after the mark OUT. For example, if you want to play a deck 2 seconds before a pause event, you must embed the GPI 2 seconds before the Mark OUT of the previous event. ✘ A GPI is not recognized when the serial control is set for direct serial and a deck is not connected.

Head Frames ✘ Head frames occasionally display the message ÒBusy: PlayingÓ or ÒBusy: RecordingÓ instead of the actual head frame.

Loop Mode ✘ You cannot play a playlist that contains only one event in Loop mode. The playlist plays the event once and then stops playback.

Workaround: Duplicate the event and place it in the playlist twice, or load one copy in the Standby Event window.

Modify ✘ If you use the Modify command to set the end timecode of a clip, the system adds an additional frame to the timecode. For example, if you set the end timecode for a clip to 11 frames, the timecode is actually set to 12 frames.

25 ✘ If you use the Modify command to decrement timecode, you must enter a negative sign after the amount you want to decrement, not before. For example, enter 1:00:00:00- to decrement the timecode by 1 hour.

Partition Limit ✘ The Macintosh system supports up to 70 partitions, not including one internal partition and one diskette partition. To make sure that you do not exceed this limit, plan for a maximum of 68 partitions (exclusive of the internal and diskette partitions).

Pause Events ✘ After a pause event, there is a delay of several seconds before you can play the next event. For example, if you enter a pause to play a very short event from an external source, AirPlay MP is not ready to play the event after the pause for several seconds.

Workaround: There are two workarounds: ¥ Insert a short-duration external event entry instead of a pause event. For example, where the desired pause is less than 3 seconds, use break-[1-second external event]-break instead of break-[pause]-break. ¥ To have manual control over the length of the pause, turn off the setting Switch on Pause Events, and add a zero-duration external event before the pause; click Skip to play the next event.

Playback ✘ If you use the AirPlay Work-N-Playª function to rearrange events during playback, playlists containing multiple NewsCutter stories might experience playback stutter. Master clips do not cause this problem.

26 ✘ AirPlay MP performance might degrade when you play more than Þve events in any 15-second interval in the playlist. In general, AirPlay MP performance might degrade when events in the playlist are less than 1 second in duration. ✘ While you play Standby events from the Status bar window or events from pop-up players, you cannot use the AirPlay Work-N-Play function.

Playlists ✘ If you double-click a clip in a playlist and the playlist is not the front window, the second click is not executed.

Workaround: Click once to activate the window, and then double-click the clip. ✘ You cannot change the mark IN and mark OUT of an event when you repeat the event in a playlist. For example, suppose the Þrst event in the playlist is Skyline. You set a mark IN and OUT in Skyline. After adding several events to the playlist, you add Skyline again, as the Þnal event, and mark IN and OUT in a different section. When you make the new marks, the old marks are replaced in both occurrences of Sky- line.

Workaround: Create a copy of the event and assign it a unique name before adding it to the playlist. To copy the event, click to select it in the bin and choose Duplicate from the Edit menu. ✘ Avid recommends that you do not make major modiÞcations to the playlist while on the air.

✘ AirPlay MP cannot import playlists whose names contain more than 27 characters.

27 Print File Import ✘ In an imported print Þle, in a text line that matches an Entry Line For- mat, text that follows a double quote (Ò) is dropped.

Printer Driver Additions ✘ Serious problems, such as AirPlay MP or system crash, occur if you try to print from within AirPlay MP when no printer is selected in the Chooser.

Workaround: Be sure to select a printer in the Chooser before you attempt to print. If you add a printer to the AirPlay MP system, be sure to install the correct driver and select it in the Chooser.

Router Setup

When you enter router settings, the last entry is not always updated in the playlist.

Workaround: Close and then reopen the playlist before and after changing the Router Setup.

Serial Port Settings ✘ If you choose serial deck control from one port, you cannot simulta- neously have V-LAN control on another port.

Workaround: Install a V-LAN deck controller.

Standby Events ✘ Frames in a standby event window might not match the frames in the bin. For example, if you select representative frames in a bin for a number of clips or stories. These same clips, when placed in standby, will show the Þrst frame in the Standby Event window, not the representative frame.

28 ✘ When you press pause for a standby event, the image turns gray. When you press play, stop, or reload the event, the image returns.

Startup ✘ Except for unusual circumstances, the AirPlay application should not be in the startup folder. If AirPlay is in the startup folder on an Avid Media Processor system, using the Command key (z) in the Þrst key- board command (such as opening a playlist) causes MacsBug to start. This invocation of MacsBug does not indicate that the system is in an unstable state.

Workaround: Type G to continue without error.

Undo/Redo ✘ The Undo and Redo commands are not available with AirPlay MP.
