Upgrading for International Character Support
7
When you upgrade your LANserver to MediaNetwork v3.3, by default the
file system metadata translates all characters based on their MacRoman or
ANSI-Asian encodings (depending on the language you selected during
the upgrade) to Unicode encoding. After upgrading the LANserver to
MediaNetwork v3.3, you might see some characters in the folder and file
names that appear incorrectly. These are characters that have a different
operating system encoding than the encodings used by Avid Composer
Products.
General Information
Before you begin to upgrade your MediaNetwork workgroup, consider the
following:
• If you use a European language and your workgroup includes
Windows clients, you should segregate any files from Windows clients
that were created with non-Avid applications. Some of the characters
in these file names do not convert correctly.
• If you use an Asian language and your workgroup includes Macintosh
clients, you should segregate any files from Macintosh clients that
were created with non-Avid applications. Some of the characters in
these file names do not convert correctly.
After the upgrade is complete, you should do the following:
• Review all of the folder and file names in your MediaNetwork
workspaces. Manually correct any folder or file names that were not
correctly converted during the upgrade.
Avid supplies two HTML files (MacRoman_not_in_ANSI.htm and
ANSI_not_in_MacRoman.htm) with these release notes (in the
Documents folder on the MediaNetwork CD-ROM). One lists ANSI
characters that do not appear in the MacRoman character set. The
other lists MacRoman characters that do not appear in the ANSI
character set. These files will help you determine characters that might
not convert properly during the MediaNetwork upgrade. You will need
to set your Web browser to display Unicode characters to view these
files.
