2. Keyword Management
2.1. Introduction
2.1.1. Product Overview
Keywords are an essential element to the IPDirector system, bridging the gap between
the EVS video servers and a conventional database by allowing the user to search for
material using keywords which relate to the media rather than searching by storage
locations.
Keywords allow you to perform searches in logs or clip elements in a unified manner.
Every user can thus be certain that the media and logs are indexed in a structured manner
so as to provide accurate search results.
This application provides tools to add data to the database. It allows the addition of
individual words, importation of existing Keyword Grids of up to 300 keywords, or the
importation of 3
rd party text data into the IPDirector database. Using keyword
management tools it is possible to create and edit Keyword Grids, Keyword Dictionaries
and also to import and export keyword files between different IPDirector installations.
Keyword files made on an EVS video server are also importable.
Dictionaries allow you to manage all your keywords in a structured hierarchy. This
hierarchy allows for similar items to be grouped under headings that are collapsible and
expandable.
2.1.2. Opening the Keyword Tools
Keyword List, Keyword Grid and Dictionary can be opened separately or all together by
selecting the corresponding option from the Keywords menu of the Application bar:
