1.3.4. Ingest Scheduler
The Ingest Scheduler is a visual tool that allows the creation, editing and view of
scheduled ingests on EVS video servers, or from the servers to files on storage via
XTAccess. It provides a timeline view of each recorder and stream configured through the
Remote Installer and controlled by IPDirector.
The Ingest Scheduler is designed to control:
• ingests as a growing clip on any recorder channel of an EVS video server (high
resolution or low resolution) controlled by IPDirector.
The scheduled ingests are automatically saved as clip elements of XT Clip type.
• streams of the material ingested onto the recorders. The streams shown are virtual
channels that are automatically associated with each recorder if at least one
XTAccess in the GigE network.
The streams are automatically saved to files and appear in IPDirector as clip elements
of File type.
This module is used to schedule ingests in the future, but can also be used to immediately
start a recording. It is designed to schedule one-shot ingests or to schedule ingests
repeated at regular intervals (Repeat Every ingests) or repeated at a defined start time on
selected days (Repeat ingests).
Ingests can be associated to a logsheet and automatically protected.
1.3.5. IPLogger
IPLogger is used to create logs on a given event. A log is a reference point to a given
timecode in a record train, to which descriptive information can be associated. This is
used to easily identify important moments in an event and create clips later on based on
the logs.
Logs are related to a logsheet which is created for the 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.
Users can associate metadata to the log, such as keywords, interest level, highlight color
or a description.
1.3.6. Keyword Management
A set of applications is used to manage the keywords database, prepare grids and
dictionaries for logging, searching and browsing.
Using the Keyword Management tools, a keyword grid or dictionary content can easily be
changed and organized by the operator and production team to make it perfectly suited for
any sport or live production. An unlimited number of keyword grids, consisting of up to 300
words each can be managed by IPDirector.
