EVS IPDirector Version 6.0 - November 2012 Part 3 User's Manual - Manual (Page 32)

Virtual LSM ID
From the Clips view, a single LSM ID is displayed for a clip. It is called the virtual LSM ID.
• If a XT high resolution clip is present in the clip, it will be the LSM ID of the XT high
resolution clip, ,
• If there is no XT high resolution clip in the clip, this field will be left empty .
When the LSM ID of the XT high resolution clip is changed, the virtual LSM ID is changed
as well.
When the LSM ID of the XT high resolution clip is deleted, the virtual LSM ID is removed
and the LSM ID field is set to blank.
When the LSM ID of the XT high resolution clip appears in a clip, the virtual LSM ID is
updated to match.
So, if a XT low resolution clip is present in the clip, the only way its real LSM ID can be
retrieved is from the Clip Elements branch of the tree. This view and function should only
be used by system administrators and media managers.
3.2.4. Normal Clip Versus Light Clip
Purpose
When a lot of users work on IPDirector, they can create a large amount of clips. This can
potentially lead to a situation where too many XT clips are created on the EVS video
server and where the database is overloaded by resources-consuming processes.
The concept of light clip has been introduced to avoid the creation of a large amount of
clips on an EVS video server. A specific user right is required to be able to create light
clips.
Normal Clip
When a clip is created from a live train, it will be a normal clip, stored on an EVS video
server with a LSM ID.
