2. Software Player
2.1 INTRODUCTION
The Software Player acts as media viewer and allows the users to browse media
through the GigE network.
The Software Player can be chosen as a source for the Control Panel or the
Playlist Panel, in the same way as a normal player channel. Browsed media can
also be viewed in the Video Display. The Software Player can be used with the
ShuttlePro or with the BEPlay remote. Refer to part 1 of the user manual for
explanations on these devices.
You can only open one instance of the Software Player at a time in IPDirector.
As the Software Player works by decoding files on the IPDirector, its performance
will depend on the workstation capacity.
Note
The IP Media Viewer is a software option which allows using the
Software Player for GbE browsing and file preview in the IPDirector
interface. It requires the license key 70 being imported to XSecure.
Without this code, the Software Player is not available.
For more information on the required license key, contact the Support or
Sales team.

Using the Software Player, you will be able to browse any of the hi-res or lo-res
following media elements as long as they are available on an EVS server or on an
online nearline via the GigE network:
• trains
• XT clips or growing clips defined on an EVS server
• files stored on a nearline storage.
• playlists
Note
The Software Player will not play transition effects between the
playlist elements. All transitions will be viewed as ‘Cut’.
• playlist elements.
Once a near line clip is loaded on the player, the user can make sub clips in the
same way as in a normal control panel.
