1. Introduction
1.1 PURPOSE
Warning
The IPEdit manual has been written based on IPDirector V5.1 and partly
updated for V5.6. A fully updated version for IPDirector V5.6 will soon be
available on the web.
IPEdit is a video editing solution fully integrated in the IPDirector framework that
delivers real-time performance through a new server-based architecture. It offers
complete timeline editing with no rendering process required.
Long form editing is available for quick program fixing, while short form editing
can be used for highlights creation.
Intuitive editing functions, like drag-and-drop and keyboard shortcuts, make it
easy to do video and audio transition effects, and the enhanced replace process
lets you add video graphics and voice-over.
Up to four audio tracks (a total of 8 audio channels) provide flexible audio editing,
including audio swap, mute, and volume automation. IPEdit also allows multiple
channel access over the entire media network.
The timeline engine is based on the XT[2] server’s field-proven reliability, and up
to two simultaneous timelines can be created per XT[2] server. GPI Out allows for
external device automation, and the ability to play out while editing ensures a
‘speed to air’ workflow.
Note
The IPEdit module is a software option, which requires the licence key 60
being imported to XSecure.
For more information on the required licence key, contact the Support or
Sales team.
