Configuring an IPDirector subject
A valid connection to the IPDirector web service should be configured before configuring an IPDirector subject. You can
open the IPDirector configuration panel via the [Options > Configure IPDirector ] menu entry.
You can change the subject's options by clicking on the button on the top of the ingest panel.
In the "Destination options" tab, you can modify the IPDirector destination options.
For IPDirector destination subjects you can configure the destination file naming rules. These rules will be applied as a base
name for all generated destination files. You can also set the rules determining what should be done if a file with the same
name already exists.
You can select from among four different file naming rules:
l "Source clip name" means that the base name of destination file will be the same as the source file. For example, if
the source file is MyClip.mxf then the destination base name will be MyClip.
l "Source user clip name" means that the base name of the destination file will be the user defined clip name (as
stored in the sequence metadata if there are any). If no user clip name is defined, it is resolved as "Not found".
l "Ask me (not available in Auto-Ingest)" means that you will be prompted to manually rename the ingest items
when you drop them to the ingest stack. This option is not available in Auto-Ingest. See "Manual renaming dialog"
on page 52.
l "Following basename" means that the base name of the destination file will be the text string provided.
Two options are possible in the event of a file conflict:
l "Ask me" means that an error will be raised each time there is a conflict, requesting you to select the appropriate
action.
l "Automatically increment filename" means that an ordinal will be added to the new destination file base name. For
example, if a file named MyClip.mxf already exists, the new destination basename will be MyClip1 and so on. This
option is automatically selected if you use a fixed base name, thus allowing you to ingest ordered lists of ingests
(MyClip1, MyClip2 ... MyClipN list).
In the "Destination start timecode" group you can redefine the start timecode of the ingested files. See "Start timecode
redefinition" on page 43.
In the "Audio configuration" tab you will be able to customize the audio routing parameters of the subject. See "Audio rout-
ing" on page 43.

In the "Metadata options" tab, you can define the attributes to assign to the IPDirector clip.
IPDirector metadata can be of following types:
