Issue 4.3.C IP Director Version 4.3 – User Manual – Part 1: Introduction
EVS Broadcast Equipment
Compared to conventional logging techniques, IP Logger has
significant time-saving benefits, and saving time is always
critical in live production. By producing accurate logs, and
providing an efficient search engine, information is available
faster to all EVS XNet users for browsing, editing and archiving.
Logs can be accessed by other users even while they are being
generated, and XT media associated with the log can be cued
and used instantly.

Database Explorer displays and manages clips, play-lists, bins
and logs for the media available on the EVS XNet network.
Clips & Play-Lists
Clips and Play-Lists created on XT servers are synchronised to
the IP Director central database and can be browsed from this
window.
Bins & Logs
Bins and Logs are details only present on the IP Director
systems, and add improved methods for associating clips and
other details to the user. These sections are not directly visible
on XT servers, but the results of these functions can affect clips
on the XNet network beneficially.
Features of the Database Explorer window include:
• bin management
• log sheet management
• free text search engine and search filters
• keyword filter and assignment
• thumbnail displays
• metadata details (ID, name, timecode, keywords, UmID…)
• fill & key management of clips
