8.1 INTRODUCTION
All media connected to a particular project or event can be organized into a bin,
regardless of clip numbers or storage locations. This makes it possible to treat the
entire XNet network and nearline storage as one storage location, searchable by a
standard database.
The results of searches can be stored to a bin to allow more immediate access to
media which may be stored on any machine on the XNet network. Bins can now
also include a Post-Process so-as to perform a function to all items arriving into a
Bin.
8.2 BINS TREE STRUCTURE
The bin tree structure does not use any of the existing clip structure of the EVS
video platform: it is customized by the user depending on how he wants to
organize his clips, playlists or timelines. In the bin tree structure, the following
rules are applicable:
•
A directory can contain other directories or bins.
•
A bin cannot contain a directory or another bin.
Right-clicking the heading of the bin tree opens a contextual menu from which you
can create a new bin or a new directory.
Right-clicking a bin icon in the bin tree opens a contextual menu that gives access
to the choices displayed in the screenshot below:
Command Description
