3.4 BINS
3.4.1 INTRODUCTION
All media connected with a particular project or event can be organised into a bin,
regardless of its clip number or storage location. This makes it possible to treat
the whole XNet network as one storage location searchable by a standard
database. The results of searches can be stored to a bin to allow more immediate
access to media which may be stored on any machine on the XNet network.
3.4.2 BINS TREE STRUCTURE
The bin tree structure does not use any of the existing clip structure of the XT
platform: it is customized by the user depending on how he wants to organize his
clips. In the bin tree structure, the following rules are applicable:
• A directory can include other directories or bins.
• A bin cannot include any directory or bin.

Right-clicking a bin icon in the bin tree opens a contextual menu that gives access
to the choices displayed in the screenshot below:
