Chapter 3 Configuring the NewsBrowse System
Configure Profile MDIs
This page configures the Managed Device Interfaces (MDI) for the Profile Media
Servers that record and store the high-res media. The NewsBrowse system depends
on the Profile MDI to make high-res media assets visible across the system.
As you add Profile MDIs, refer to “Site-specific configuration tables” on page 34 and
make sure that you associate Profile MDIs and Profile host names correctly.
Multiple Profile MDIs run on a single machine (the MDI server), but they each need
their own process port number. For this purpose the “Port” field automatically
increments. To use the automatically incremented port numbers, make sure you add
Profile MDIs in the correct sequence. You can also manually enter port numbers. The
MDIs and their port numbers must match settings as in
“Configure Media Frame Core
ASK: Register components” on page 47 .
If you are configuring the basic MDI stage, do not yet configure transfer targets.
