A clip can contain up to six types of clip elements:

video server.

video server.

There can be several copies of the same element within a clip.
3.3 NEARLINE MANAGEMENT
XT clips can be sent to the nearline for backup purpose. They are saved on the
nearline as files. Physical storage such as IP drive (or XF drive) can be used as
nearline. A clip which only contains a nearline file can be restored to an EVS
video server, for example for playout purpose.
Once a nearline directory has been configured in the Remote Installer, the
IPDirector will continuously scan the directory path looking for new files or files
being deleted. The IP drive service will also automatically detect the appearance
of a new IP drive, or XFile disk, or the ejection of a drive.
