Database Explorer displays and manages clips, play-lists, bins and logs for the
media available on the EVS XNet network.
Clips & Play-Lists
Clips and Play-Lists created on XT servers are synchronised to the IP Director
central database and can be browsed from this window.
Bins & Logs
Bins and Logs are details only present on the IP Director systems, and add
improved methods for associating clips and other details to the user. These
sections are not directly visible on XT servers, but the results of these functions
can affect clips on the XNet network beneficially.
Features of the Database Explorer window include:
• bin management
• log sheet management
• free text search engine and search filters
• keyword filter and assignment
• thumbnail displays
• metadata details (ID, name, timecode, keywords, UmID…)
• fill & key management of clips
• browse and playback directly from explorer window
• export of log sheets (XML, CSV)
• archive management via XFile

The “Mini Database Explorer” is an integrated part of the Clip Editor and the Play-
List Editor applications used to easily browse the database content and then use
the selected material in either of the applications without the requirement to have
a full Database Explorer Panel open. It can show all clips, bins and play-lists that
are contained in the database.
