Managing Editing Environments on the Server

Manage profiles on the server when using EDIUS on multiple terminals. The profile managed on the server (i.e. shared profile) is shared between and used by each of the terminals.

Creating a Shared Profile

To share a profile on multiple terminals, install EDIUS on the management server or PC, and create a shared profile using the profile management tool.

Note

• First, install EDIUS on the server or PC where the shared profile is to be managed.

• While the profile management tool is in use, EDIUS on all terminals that are referencing the profile management server must be ended.

The profile management tool will start up.

The [Change Profile] dialog box appears.

New profiles can be registered, changed, deleted, duplicated, imported, and exported in the same way as system settings.

Registering Profiles and Switching Editing Environments

To use the shared profile on each terminal, the references and other information of the shared profile must be set in the system settings on each terminal.

Using Shared Profiles on Local Terminals

Profile Types

Local profile

This is the profile created on each local terminal. The settings of profiles that are changed while they are in use are overwritten.

Read-only profile

This is a read-only profile. The settings of profiles that are changed while they are still in use are not overwritten.

Also, read-only profiles cannot be renamed, and their icons cannot be changed or deleted.

Restricted user profile

This is a restricted user profile. The system settings cannot be changed while the restricted user profile is in use.

Shared profile

This is the profile created using the profile management tool. The settings of profiles that are changed while they are in use are overwritten as long the profile is not changed to read-only.

Also, shared profiles cannot be renamed, and their icons cannot be changed or deleted on local terminals.

Shared profile in offline state

This is the shared profile in an offline state. This is displayed when a connection cannot be made to the reference server from the local terminal that was using the shared profile.

• When a shared profile is in use, profile settings sometimes cannot be saved to the server if the connection to the reference server is broken off midway or when another terminal is executing save processing on the same shared profile. When the connection to the server is recovered when EDIUS is next started up, if the shared profile with the same name is still in the server, a message will appear to confirm whether the profile settings, which could not be saved in the last session, should be written back to the server at the current session.

Using Shared Profiles on Local Terminals

Enable use of the shared profile on each terminal.

Note

• If you use the restricted user profile, the system settings cannot be changed. To change system settings, the profile must be switched.

  Switching Profiles

If you select [Shared Server], only the shared profile can be used. New profiles on local terminals cannot be registered, changed, deleted, duplicated, and imported.

If you select [Local and Shared Server], both local profiles and the shared profile can be used.

If you select [Local], only local profiles can be used.

Specify where to save the shared profile that you created using the profile management tool.

The shared profile is displayed on the [Profile] screen synchronized with the profiles at the network references.
