This document is the Avid Networking Port Usage Guide, which provides comprehensive technical specifications for firewall configuration and network port requirements across Avid's media production and workflow management product portfolio.

The guide details inbound and outbound port requirements for thirteen major Avid product lines: Avid | Edit On Demand, Avid Huddle, Avid Media Composer Panel SDK, Avid NEXIS, Avid NEXIS | EDGE, Avid MediaCentral Cloud UX, Avid MediaCentral | Sync, Avid MediaCentral Production Management, Avid MediaCentral Newsroom Management, Avid MediaCentral Capture, Avid Ingest and Playout, Avid MediaCentral Platform Services, and Avid Media Index. For each product, the guide specifies required TCP and UDP ports, communication protocols, source and destination endpoints, and firewall configuration recommendations (designated as YES, NO, or Optional). Key port ranges include 5986 (AD Server management), 443 (HTTPS client connections), 22 (SSH management), 80/443 (HTTP/HTTPS communications), 5000-5415 (Avid NEXIS client data traffic), 7237 (Avid NEXIS internal communications), 3435-3455 (Storage Manager data connections), 8321 (Interplay Engine browser), and 27017-27150 (MongoDB database services). The guide also addresses specialized requirements for cloud provider infrastructure, Kubernetes cluster communications, Elasticsearch indexing, RabbitMQ messaging, and third-party integrations including Microsoft Teams, Active Directory, Okta authentication, and various media ingest/playout systems. Multi-zone and distributed deployments require additional port configurations for inter-site connectivity and data replication.
