Send to Provides a list of possible destinations to which the

Possible destinations, depending on the XNet network, are:
• the user’s default bin
• the user’s default playlist
• a default archive target
• any target destination visible on the GigE network that
has been defined in the Remote Installer (CleanEdit
targets, Avid targets, Final Cut Pro targets, File targets,
XT targets). This is used to make A/V material available
to external systems.
Flatten to XT Displays a list of hi-res EVS servers and pages available
on the XNet network to which the user can store a
consolidated clip out of the open playlist.
The flattened clip will have the same VarID as the original
playlist.
Backup to Nearline Provides a list of possible destinations to which the
selected playlist can be sent, that is to say any destination
folder visible on the GigE network that has been defined in
the Remote Installer to allow playlist transfer. This is used
to store or back up A/V material.
Users can access the A/V material of nearline folders in
IPDirector, or restore it on an EVS server.
