Installing Libraries And Files; Creating A New Library Folder - High End Systems CATALYST Series User Manual

Installing Libraries and Files

Content can be added to the Catalyst Media Server from internal and external hard drives,
CD-Roms and DVD-roms, as well as over an Ethernet network. The process consists of
placing properly named and formatted files within correctly named folders.

Creating a New Library Folder

1. Quit the Catalyst application by selecting File>Quit on the menu bar.
2. Double-click the Macintosh HD icon on the desktop of the PowerMac
G5. The Finder screen launches, displaying the directories and files on
the root folder of the Catalyst Media Server.
3. Browse to Applications>Catalyst v3>Library Files. A new window opens showing
the Library folders currently in the Library Files folder. Each folder with a name that
starts with a three-digit number between 000 and 255, is a valid Catalyst Library
folder accessible from DMX using the Library parameter.
4. With the Library Files folder selected, click File>New
Folder on the menu bar at the top of the screen.
5. Type a name for a new Library folder. The folder name
must begin with the number of a non-existent Library
folder in the ### format (000-253).
When naming folders ensure no existing folders share
the same three digit number. In addition, folders 254 and
255 are reserved and cannot be used for content.
