Note

When you protect a XT hi-res clip, the lo-res version (if present) is protected
automatically and vice versa. Then, two icons will be displayed, one for each XT
clip. The protect feature does not affect hi-res or lo-res files.

If a clip is protected by the IPDirector protocol, the Protect icon

(hi-res) or

(lo-res)

appears in the Protect column of the element.

If the clip is protected by another protocol, the Protect icon

(hi-res) or

(lo-res)

appears in the Protect column.

Note

It is possible to protect a clip via IPDirector if it is already protected by another
protocol. This will ensure that the clip remains protected even if it is unprotected
later by the other protocol.

In IPDirector, it is not possible to remove the clip protection defined by another
protocol.
