Whatever the source material included in the playlist, the components of the
playlist are referred to as playlist elements. Various types of playlist elements can
be inserted into a playlist:
• trains, XT clips, growing clips, protect media (clips associated to logs) defined
on an EVS server.
• files stored on a nearline storage.
• playlists, bins.
Note
As the term ‘clip’ refers to a logical entity which includes A/V material,
we will use this term in the user manual if the elements included in a clip
(XT clip, file, growing clip or protect media) are irrelevant in the context.
Should we want to refer to a specific type of clip element, we would then
mention this explicitly.

From IPDirector 5.8, playlists can be created with elements whose corresponding
clips are not yet available on the EVS video server where the playlist will be
played out. For this reason, we will distinguish the following statuses for playlist
elements:
Element Status Description
Physical playlist element Playlist element which is available on an EVS video
server of the XNet network.
Virtual playlist element Playlist elements which are not yet present on an
EVS video server of the XNet network. These
elements still need to be restored to the EVS
server.
