Apple Final Cut Server - Manual (Page 178)

178 Part II General Administration
 Generate Thumbnails: Select this checkbox to generate thumbnails of images when
using Search Devices from the Server pop-up menu (the pop-up menu in the
Final Cut Server main window that appears when you click the Server button). The
thumbnail images appear when you view an image’s details, by either double-
clicking its filename or Control-clicking the filename and choosing View Details from
the shortcut menu. This allows you to see the image without having to create an
asset for it in the Final Cut Server catalog. See “
Searching Devices ” on page 182 for
more information on using the Search Devices feature.
 Max Connections: Enter the maximum number of connections from Final Cut Server
to the device. Leave this field at the default setting of zero (0) or blank, permitting
unlimited connections, unless there is a particular reason to restrict connections.
 Macintosh edit-in-place URI: Enter the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for editing
media from a Macintosh client directly on the device, instead of downloading and
editing it on the client. The device must also be accessible as a mounted file system
from the client. The format is:
 file:///Volumes/volumename/optionalsubfolder/
An example is:
 file:///Volumes/MediaServer/Images/
Note: See “ About Edit-in-Place Devices ” on page 172 for more information about
edit-in-place devices.
 Windows edit-in-place URI: Enter the URI for editing media from a Windows client
directly on the device, instead of downloading and editing it on the client. The
device must also be accessible as a network share from the client. The format is:
 file:////hostname/path/
An example is:
 file:////MediaServer/Images/
 Analyze Mode: Analysis creates different proxies for still and clip files. Choose an
option from the pop-up menu to determine how Final Cut Server handles files that
are not known to be still images or movie clips; for example, files missing extensions.
 [None]: Do not analyze files or create proxies for files with missing or unknown file
extensions. Guess the file type by its extension (default).
 Assume Stills: Assume files with missing or unknown file extensions are still images.
 Ignore: Do not analyze files or create proxies for files with missing or unknown file
extensions. Guess the file type by the file’s extension.
 Case insensitive filesystem: Select this checkbox for FTP devices that do not recognize
case differences (for example, they see FILE.mov and file.mov as being the same file).
 Archive Device: Select this checkbox to add this device to the list of archive locations
a user can choose from.
