1. Introduction
The Database Explorer is a central point in the IPDirector application to perform
search on all the media available on the network and to load media by a simple
operation such as drag-and-drop.
In the Database Explorer, you can access the media and data, either by using your
knowledge of the ‘clip hierarchy’ methods used in EVS video servers or by using
quick or advanced search techniques.
The Database Explorer gives a view on the media in terms of clips, clip elements,
playlists, timelines, logs or media files. Even the files backed up on removable
drives which have been removed (off-line nearline files) are still listed in the
Database Explorer to allows easily retrieving the drive.
Bins can be created to organise clips, playlists and timelines and bin rules can be
defined to automatically copy clips, playlists or timelines within a bin
corresponding to a specific applied filter.
Many operations are possible from the Database Explorer. It must be noted that
some of the operations are directly described in the chapters dedicated to the
other modules of IPDirector.
