Installing the Software

RHTV no longer uses the entire Avid editing suite of software, but rather only the Avid ISIS shared media storage system. When setting up a new computer to connect to the ISIS system:

Copy the following from the registry of an existing ISIS user:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Avid Technology

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\AvidFosFS

Install the Client Manager software from G:\Install\Openapps\Avid ISIS\ISIS_4.7.9_Multi\AvidISISClientInstallers

- AvidISISClient_Win64_4.7.9_16225.msi

Enter the username and password (provided by Jason Dale), right click on the AvidISIS under Systems and choose connect, then right click on each drive under Workspaces and choose mount.

Jason Dale manages the ISIS and maintained the passwords.

Setting up the Hardware (be sure to check online to verify that the following is still required)

The software requires a very specific network adapter and drive installation:

Network Adapter and Driver Installation

Most Windows® editing clients require the 1 Gb Intel® Pro/1000 PT or PF Ethernet network adapter to connect to the Avid ISIS system, even if the clients are connected to an external switch.

Intel PRO/1000 Network Adapter and Driver Installation

The Intel PRO/1000 Ethernet network adapters are recommended for most Windows editing systems that connect to the Avid ISIS system. The Intel PRO/1000 PT and Intel i350 T2 are copper interfaces and the Intel PRO/1000 PF is an optical interface. Depending on the Intel network adapter used in your system, load the appropriate driver from the appropriate folder. The Intel drivers qualified in this release are included in the \Drivers\ISIS Client\Intel_Pro1000\ folder in the Avid ISIS software installer kit. Install the newest qualified driver in the folder. Check your driver version in the Windows Control Panel

The dual network adapter setup requires a static IP addressing system. Attached are the current network adapter configurations for the three existing ISIS computers (DP1594, DP1541 and DP1544).
