The elements can be played from the clip or clip element structure, from a bin or
from the result list of a search in the Database Explorer.

To be able to create thumbnails, a control panel with video display window must
be associated to the Database Explorer window.
To establish the association, the Player Channel displayed in the Video Display
needs to be assigned to the Database Explorer as explained above in 12.1 ‘How to
Assign a Player Channel to the Database Explorer’ on page 114.
When a clip is loaded on the Control Panel, you can press the Photo button on the
Database Explorer toolbar or type SHIFT+P on the keyboard to grab a thumbnail
for the loaded clip.
Note
For IPDirector to create a thumbnail in this way, the output of the
selected channel must be connected to an input of the workstation’s
video board and the picture displayed in a video display window on the
VGA.
Note
Thumbnails can be created automatically when there is an XFile or
XTAccess designated within the thumbnails configuration in the
IPDirector Remote Installer. Please see the Technical Reference manual
for further details.
