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.
