3.12 Playlist Maintenance
3.12.1 Introduction
Access
Click on the Playlist Maintenance button to enter the Playlist Maintenance.
Purpose
The purpose of the Playlist Maintenance is to offer the possibility to compile a playlist
from all the best clips captured in the OB van and export the playlist of backup files into a
single media file. The export process will also generate files including the playlist/clip
metadata and the playlist definition.
In a future version, it will be possible to directly restore and publish the playlist created in
XFile, with its distinct clips, onto an EVS video server.
The Playlist Maintenance also allows the backup (rendering) of a server playlist in the
form of a single clip.
Available Functions
The Playlist Maintenance allows the user to perform the following actions:
• save a list of backup clips as a playlist on an XFile drive
• export the playlist to a file
• render a playlist from an EVS video server into XFile
Note
The Import function is not intended to be used with playlists. Refer to section
3.10.6 ‘Importing Files from Third Party Systems’ on page 92.
