Configure Avid Media Composer send destinations

Only systems that send assets to Avid Media Composer® workstations require this process.
  • A separate server machine was configured and the MEWS software deployed by SiteConfig.
  • A "STRATUS-XCODECONTROLMEWSEXT” or “STRATUS-XCODECONTROLMEWS” license is available.
