EVS IPDirector Version 6.0 - November 2012 Part 3 User's Manual - Manual (Page 77)

9. Bins View
9.1. Introduction
All media connected to a particular project or event can be organized into a bin, regardless
of clip numbers or storage locations. This makes it possible to treat the entire XNet
network and nearline storage as one storage location, searchable by a standard database.
The results of searches can be stored to a bin to allow more immediate access to media
which may be stored on any machine on the XNet network.
Bins can now also include a Post-Process so-as to perform a function to all items arriving
into a bin.
9.2. Bins Tree Structure
9.2.1. Introduction
The Bins tree structure does not use any of the existing clip structure of the EVS video
platform: it is customized by the users depending on how they want to organize their clips,
playlists, timelines or edits. In the bin tree structure, the following rules are applicable:
• A directory can contain other directories or bins.
• A bin cannot contain a directory or another bin.
9.2.2. Tree View Elements
The table below mentions which elements are displayed in the Elements grid based on the
selected tree branch and the selected item type (clips, playlists, timelines or edits).
