PROTECT / UNPROTECT
The Protect button allows you to protect or unprotect clips. When a clip is
protected, a message will warn you in IPDirector or in Multicam not to delete the
clip.
A green Protect icon appears on the left of the Protect button when the clip
is protected by the IPDirector protocol.
Hi-res / lo-res files are not affected by the Protect feature.
KEYWORDS
The Keyword list allows you to define up to three keywords to a clip to qualify its
content.
To add keywords, select them from the Keyword Grid or Keyword Dictionary.
Please refer to the Keyword Management chapter in this user manual for more
information on how to maintain keywords.
INTEREST LEVEL
The Interest Level icons allow you to assign an interest rating to a clip. Four
interest levels can be defined, from no star to 3 stars (***).The background of the
button corresponding to the selected interest level is in blue. The default value is
the no star level.
