1. Introduction
A complete suite of production tools to manage networked
XT series servers
IP Director is a suite of software applications designed to
enhance the workflow of a Television production.
In combination with EVS XT series Servers, IP Director can
utilize its applications to both control multiple channels within
the XNet network and also add comprehensive logging features
and database functionality. This provides browsing capability
and production orientated asset management to increase the
efficiency of any Broadcast Operation.
There are ten applications designed for use on a production.
Each is integrated into the overall package and is accessed by
installed software licenses. Each of the applications can be used
to perform different tasks. This could be in the form of multiple
recordings of different events within a studio environment. This
can be complemented with the logging system to associate data
with each recording, compiling media from the database for
inclusion in an edited package. The IP Director suite also allows
the playback of several completed elements to multiple sources
such as big screens, key and fill switcher effects, and studio
play-in.
These applications are:
Channel Explorer
IP Logger
Database Explorer
Mini Database Explorer
Recorder Panel
Ingest Scheduler
VTR Control Panel
Player Control Panel
Play-List Editor
Clip Editor
