Mimiq
Mimiq enables Bin Locking for non-Avid storage. It's a standalone app for teams working with Avid Media Composer, enabling Shared Project workflows on:
SMB, NFS, and AFP file shares in your local area network
FUSE-based volumes, such as a LucidLink Filespace (Available in Mimiq Pro)
Workspaces created from any type of storage (Available in Mimiq Pro)
With Mimiq, Media Composer recognizes these volumes as third-party shared storage so teams of Avid editors can work together using Shared Bins with Bin Locking in Shared Projects.
Mimiq Pro
Mimiq Pro enables remote and hybrid Shared Projects workflows by letting you use non-network volumes alongside SMB, NFS, and AFP file shares.
Mimiq Pro allows you to create Workspaces from any type of storage – such as a RAID, SAN (e.g. Quantum StorNext), LucidLink Filespaces, and even local folders – which Media Composer treats as independent NEXIS shares.
Mimiq Pro also provides NEXIS Coexistence, allowing one to utilize any type of storage for bin locking simultaneously with a NEXIS.
Avid Requirements
Independent of Mimiq (Mimiq doesn't have many requirements), Avid has very specific requirements for Media Composer to be used successfully. If you haven't done so already, be sure to implement these Requirements for Media Composer on each computer, whether you use Mimiq or not:
