1. IP Logger
1.1 INTRODUCTION
IP Logger can be used to create a log which relates events with timecodes,
camera angles, clip numbers and metadata in a fast and efficient way. In this way,
IP Logger does not interfere with, but compliments a live production, while also
producing invaluable data for use of the material during or after the event.
Once the live event is over, the log can be refined as necessary because IP
Logger can be used to add events to a log at any time on any recorded media
declared relevant. It will associate any clips then found on the XNet network with
the log.
Also a previously recorded feed can be reviewed and a log post produced, as the
clip association data is always updated whenever a new event is recorded in an
active log
1.2 CREATING A LOG SHEET WITH IP
LOGGER

the parameters of the log.

• Defining the log sheet characteristics
• Defining the log sheet keywords
• Defining the relevant recorders
• Defining the user’s fields
