Pixel Mapping in a Multi-Console System
When using file based media in a multi-console environment, the primary console should be used
as the ‘base’ media archive.
Media can be imported to the primary, and the backup console and/or any other clients can then
synchronize their own, local media archives with the primary. The backup must synchronize media
with the primary in the event that the backup must take control as the master. For clients,
synchronizing the media is optional but useful if you wish to see the media playing back in the Pixel
Map Preview display.
