Part 3: Browsing
EVS Broadcast Equipment – January 2011
Issue 5.9.B

• XNet, i.e. physical hardware present on the XNet, such as:
o hi-res EVS video servers: displays clips containing a hi-res-clip saved on
the hi-res EVS video servers
o lo-res EVS video servers: can only be viewed by administrators / media
managers, or users with appropriate rights
o XF[2] or XStore hosting XFile software: displays clips which have been
backed up to XFile and then published from XFile to the XNet.
Note
Even if an XT clip is backed up to XFile in a file format, when the
file is published from XFile, it appears with a ‘clip’ icon in the
Database Explorer grid.
Each machine can be searched by browsing the tree from network number >
page > bank.
• On-line nearline: displays clips which have been backed up to nearline/IP drive
and for which the IP drive is still managing the disks, so clips can still be
immediately retrievable.
• Off-line nearline: displays clips which have been backed up to nearline/IP
drive and for which the IP drive has been removed. So, IP drive identification
allows clips to be retrieved after re-inserting the drive.
4.5 CLIP DATA COLUMNS
The clip information is organized in columns. Some of the details can be edited
from here, others are for viewing only. All the headings can be used as filters
when performing a search.
Note
For details on how to hide or show the columns, see section ’Organizing
C
olumns in the Element List’ on page 16.
Column Name Description
Thumbnail A reference frame from the clip can be shown to identify
the material visually. See section 2.3.1 ‘View Options’ on
pa
ge 4.
Key Thumbnail A reference frame from the Key clip can be shown relative
to the selected Fill clip.
Name A clip can be automatically named:
• using a configuration setting in the EVS video server
• from the EVS video servers keyboard
• from the IPDirector Control Panel when using it to
create clips
