Guidelines for MultiRez Tape Management

When working in a MultiRez workflow, it is important to name tapes properly. In particular, you

should keep the following in mind:

• Whenever you create a new tape, your Avid editing application generates a new source ID,

even if the name you type for the new tape exactly matches that of an existing tape. You

cannot dynamically relink media that does not share a source ID.

• Do not use the same name for two different tapes or different names for the same tape. This

might cause incorrect media association.

• Do not use the default tape name “New Tape.”

Options for Clip and Media Association

You can associate a single master clip with multiple media files. You can also associate two or

more master clips with the same media if the clips share a source ID and timecode.

Single Clip, Multiple Resolutions

The following illustration shows a single master clip that was captured in two resolutions: 15:1s

and 1:1 (uncompressed). This could be the result of a batch capture, a dual-ingest operation, or

transcoding.

In a bin, black circles in the 15:1s column and the 1:1 column show this association, as in the

following illustration.
