1. Player Control Panel
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Player Control Panel, referred to as Control Panel in this user manual, is the
graphical user interface used to preview and manipulate:
• clips, record trains and playlists stored on an EVS video server when the
Control Panel is associated to a player channel,
• files stored on a nearline folder of the GigE network when the Control Panel is
associated to the OCX Software Player (if the workstation has a valid license for
it).
In conjunction with the buttons on the user interface, keyboard shortcuts and
dedicated buttons on the optional ShuttlePRO controller can also be used in the
Control Panel. The keyboard shortcuts can be customized using the main
IPDirector menu Tools > Define Shortcuts.
The sections from 1.2 ‘User Interface’ to 1.2.12 ‘Settings’ provide a detailed
de
scription of the various panes or windows in the Control Panel.
The sections from 1.4 ‘Loading Media’ on page 53 include procedures on how to
pe
rform the main tasks in the Control Panel.
