1. Introduction

1.1 PURPOSE

IPEdit is a video editing solution fully integrated in the IPDirector framework that
delivers real-time performance through a new server-based architecture. It offers
complete timeline editing with no rendering process required.

Long form editing is available for quick program fixing, while short form editing
can be used for highlights creation.
Intuitive editing functions, like drag-and-drop and keyboard shortcuts, make it
easy to do video and audio transition effects, and the enhanced replace process
lets you add video graphics and voice-over.

Up to four audio tracks (a total of 8 audio channels) provide flexible audio editing,
including audio swap, mute, and volume automation. IPEdit also allows multiple

channel access over the entire media network.

The timeline engine is based on the server’s field-proven reliability, and up to two
simultaneous timelines can be created per server. GPI Out allows for external
device automation, and the ability to play out while editing ensures a ‘speed to air’
workflow.

Note

The IPEdit module is a software option, which requires the license key 60

being imported to XSecure.

For more information on the required license key, contact the Support or
Sales team.
