Apple Final Cut Server - Manual (Page 230)

230 Glossary
network file system (NFS) NFS is a file system protocol commonly used to allow a
client to access files across a network.
permission sets Permission sets are used to define how a group of users are allowed
to interact with the Final Cut Server catalog. For example, you can create a group of
users that review assets and apply a permission set that prevents them from deleting
any assets.
primary representation This is the original media file that was uploaded to
Final Cut Server.
production To help organize the assets in your Final Cut Server catalog, you can create
productions. Each production can contain one or more assets. Additionally, an asset
can belong to multiple productions. You might have a production that contains all of
the files for one of your clients, and another that contains only those files from that
client that are used in a specific episode or commercial. See also asset; metadata.
proxy Still images and video files can be very large and difficult to work with.
Final Cut Server automatically creates lower resolution proxy files during the analyze
process when you add assets to its catalog. These proxy files are much smaller and
easier to work with and can be used in place of the actual files for editing and review
purposes. See analyze; edit proxy.
response All Final Cut Server automations execute responses when their criteria are
met. There are a variety of responses that you can configure, including scanning a
device, emailing a user, or copying an asset to a device. See automation.
schedule A schedule is a type of Final Cut Server automation that runs at
predetermined times, executing one or more responses. An example is a schedule that
scans a device once a day to update its entries in the catalog. See automation; response;
subscription; watcher.
server message block (SMB) SMB is a network protocol mainly used by Windows
computers. It is often referred to as Microsoft Windows Network.
storage area network (SAN) A SAN allows multiple computers to connect to a storage
device as if it was a locally connected device, allowing you to use the media on the
storage device as if it was on a local hard disk. See also edit-in-place; Xsan.
subscription A subscription is a type of Final Cut Server automation that runs when a
specific metadata change occurs. An example is a subscription that executes an email
response when an asset’s status changes to Ready or Review. See automation; response;
subscription; watcher.
