MA Dongle

MA servers require that a USB hardware key (dongle) be installed in a server USB port before
the server will operate. Insert the dongle before power up of the server.

The dongle must remain in the USB port for the applications to function.

Hard Drives

MA servers use three high capacity hard drives. How the drives are configured depends on
where they are used.

North, Central, and South America

These MA servers have three drives: two 1TB and one 500GB.

The 500GB drive has two virtual drives:

C: (Windows)

Windows XP PRO operating system.

Do Not Modify: This Is Not A User Drive.

This drive provides temporary storage of the high-resolution content during the Ingest
process. When the MA server verifies that the content is archived on a disc, this content
is erased from the drive.

F: (Work)

This is the where the User works. There are five folders:

PXMA-auto-archive

This folder is shared on the network and used by the

Auto Watch

functions for

uploading files from local NLE or ingest stations.

PXMA-local-Copy

This folder is shared on the network and used by the

Copy to local folder

function for

downloading files from the MA server to local NLE systems or shared network
storage.

ISO-Files

Folder where the ISO files are generated. On PX-10 they need to be dragged into the
burn tool manually, on MA-50 they are stored here temporally until taken into the
automated disc burner.

PXMA-auto-archive

This folder is shared on the network and used by the

Auto Watch

functions for

uploading files from local NLE or ingest stations.
