EVS IPDirector Version 6.2 - June 2013 GENERAL FUNCTIONS User Manual - Manual (Page 163)

When the new Fill (or Key) playlist is created from a clip-list Panel or a Playlist Panel
associated to a channel, the playlist is made on-line on the EVS video server of the
channel. If this channel is linked to another channel in a Fill & Key mode, the
corresponding Key (or Fill) playlist is made on-line on the EVS server of the corresponding
channel.
Manually Linking or Unlinking Two Playlists as
Fill and Key
Purpose
When creating a Fill (or Key) playlist, the corresponding Key (or Fill) playlist is
automatically created. However, with a drag-and-drop operation, it is possible either to
change the existing association afterwards, to associate two playlists for which the
respective links have been broken or to change the type of a Normal playlist to associate
it to a Fill or Key playlist.
How to Manually Associate Two Playlists as Fill and Key
To manually associate two playlists, proceed as follows:
1. In the Database Explorer, select a playlist 1 (Normal, Fill, or Key).
2. Drag it onto a playlist 2 (Normal, Fill, or Key), pressing the SHIFT and CTRL keys at
the same time.
The result will depend on the original type of the two playlists: some associations are not
allowed, some playlist type will be converted to another one.
