EVS IPDirector Version 6.2 - June 2013 PLAYLIST PANEL User Manual - Manual (Page 52)

Playlist Management in Case of a Disconnection to the EVS Server
In case an EVS server is disconnected from the XNet, all playlists which were on-line on
that EVS server and which were present in a bin become off-line playlists. They are still
kept in the IPDirector database.
When the EVS server is reconnected later, no link is re-created between the playlist
present on the EVS server and the playlist present in the bins. In this case the playlist has
to be given its on-line status manually again.
