4. Clips View
4.1 INTRODUCTION
Clips are logical entities that contain A/V media.
Clicking the Clip branch of the tree displays the list of clips in the Database
Explorer grid. Each clip is displayed on a separate line within the grid but the view
can be expanded thanks to a small arrow at the beginning of each line. The
different clip elements making up the clip are then displayed on separate lines.
It also lists the record trains from the servers present on the XNet. They appear
with the same icon as XT hi-res clip.
The Clips branch is visible by all the users.
However, the lo-res parts of the tree can only be accessed by
administrators/media managers or users with appropriate user rights defined in
User Manager, provided that they first select the Show Lores tree from the List
View contextual menu.
The hi-res parts of the tree can be viewed and browsed by lo-res browsers.
4.2 UNDERSTANDING CLIP STRUCTURE ON
AN EVS VIDEO SERVER
One library method used by IPDirector is to mimic the hierarchical structure
adopted by the EVS range of servers to store media, which is based on the remote
panel design with a limited amount of buttons and desk space.
Each EVS video server can store up to 900 clip numbers (with each clip number
containing up to 6 sub clips, lettered A to F).
900 clips with up to 6 sub-clips per clip result in 5400 “clip registers” in each EVS
video server.
This number is displayed in the upper right window (System Information section)
of the VGA setup screen (SHIFT+F2 from the PC keyboard).
