EVS IPDirector Version 6.0 - November 2012 Part 3 User's Manual - Manual (Page 46)

You can choose whether you want to force the deletion of the clip even if it is present in a
playlist or timeline.
If you do not tick the box in the Delete Clips window, only clips not present in playlist or
timeline could be deleted.
If you tick the box, several cases can occur depending on whether the playlist or timeline
is on-line or off-line.
• On-line Timeline
If the clip is present in on-line timeline, the clip will be deleted and the timeline element
will be replaced by a black element.
• On-line Playlist
If the clip is present in an on-line playlist, both the clip and the playlist element will be
deleted.
This may be particularly useful when operators want to purge the servers after the
playlists have been played out.
In case a file is present on the nearline, you will be asked whether you want to keep it
or delete it.
• Off-line Playlist
In case you want to be able to reuse the playlist but you do not want to keep the clip,
you need to put the playlist off-line and then force the deletion of the clip from the
Database Explorer. The clip will then be replaced by a virtual element.
◦ If a corresponding file is still present on the nearline, it will be used when browsing
the playlist from the Software Player. In addition, the VarID will be used to restore
the XT clip in the playlist when you put the playlist on-line again.
◦ If no corresponding clip element is available after the deletion of the XT clip, this
latter will be replaced by a virtual element in the playlist.
