Network-attached workflow for Avid NewsCutter, Avid Media Composer and Avid Symphony Nitris,
using File Transfer Mode

Make sure that the XDCAM device and Avid editing system are connected via an Ethernet network to an Avid Unity TransferManager or
Avid Interplay Transfer server; or the Avid Unity TransferManager or Avid Interplay Transfer running in standalone mode on the Avid editing
system.

Ingest workflow (proxy and HD import supported with Avid Interplay Transfer only)
1. From the supported Avid editing system, select the FTPClipList Utility.
2. From the list of XDCAM clips displayed, select the required ones, and if using Interplay Transfer whether proxies or hi-res media is required, and drag

them to the bin. Confirm that the clips should be transferred now. The transfer will start.

If required, the transfer status can be monitored from the Avid Unity TransferManager or Avid Interplay Transfer status window.
