Step 0) Preparation

Editshare Connect should be installed on the server and the desired Media Space mounted as a driver letter. Flow Proxy files are written to a Flow-specific path and this path does not need to be mounted in Connect.

Step 1) Client Side Setup

The EditShare Media Space will need to be mounted with EditShare Connect client and have a drive letter.

Step 2) Additional Setup of Client

If you want to capture a realtime proxy file on the Server and check it into Flow on capture finalization, enable the following Proxy encoder settings:

  • Encoder: Enabled

  • Codec: H264 GPU

  • Quality: SD 720x486 800kbps (or adjust to desired setting, this setting is close to Flow default proxy setting for HD capture)

  • Wrapper: MP4

Step 3) EFS Flow Setup

Set the password of the "flow" user in Flow Control, then enter the same password here in the Cinedeck EditShare Config.

In Flow Control, make sure you set the controls for the Flow user to enable the following function permissions:

  • Metadata Write Access

  • Locked Metadata Write Access

  • Delete Files

  • Update Avid PMR
