Hi everyone,

I’m working on a client project where they have an AirSpeed 5000 in place (not using Interplay). According to the documentation, in this mode, AirSpeed “uses shared storage (no Interplay)” and transfers clips directly between the server and shared storage.

My question is:
Does that shared storage have to be Avid NEXIS/ISIS, or can it be another form of networked storage (e.g., SMB or NAS) as long as it’s accessible to both AirSpeed and Media Composer clients?

I’ve read through the Admin Guide, and while it references shared workspaces and the need for the NEXIS Client Manager on editing clients, it’s unclear whether this is a hard requirement or just the recommended/officially supported setup.

Has anyone successfully configured AirSpeed to ingest directly to non-NEXIS shared storage in Team Mode?

Thanks in advance!
Marco

Hi Marco,

No I have never tried that. But what stops you from testing this yourself?
