1. Introduction
1.1. Product Overview
A log is a reference point to a specific frame in a video sequence. The log is identified by a
TC value, and relates to an action in a given event.
Adding logs to media is particularly useful to easily and quickly retrieve the interesting
moments of the recorded sequences.
Logs are related to a logsheet which is created for a given event and contains its own
metadata, previously defined in a logsheet profile.
Users have the possibility to create log entries directly during the event, or later on.
When logging LIVE actions, logs must be entered as soon as the action occurs to grab the
timecode corresponding to the action. This is called the LIVE logging hereafter.
When logging actions later on, on a previously recorded clip, users can move through the
recorded clip. This is called the comfortable logging hereafter.
Log creation buttons and shortcuts are available to quickly add logs to a media. Users can
associate metadata to the log, such as keywords, interest level, highlight color or a
description.
Clips containing the log timecode can be created by the users to protect the logged media
or can be automatically detected by the system and associated to the log entries.
IPLogger does not interfere with, but complements a live production, while also producing
invaluable data for use of the material during or after the event.
Compared to conventional logging techniques, IP Logger has significant time-saving
benefits, and saving time is always critical in live production. By producing accurate logs,
and providing an efficient search engine, information is available faster to all EVS XNet
users for browsing, editing and archiving. Logs can be accessed by other users even
while they are being generated, and EVS media associated with the log can be cued and
used instantly.
Note
The IPLogger module is a software option, which requires the license key 20
