The EVS Server tab makes it possible to have a direct visibility and access to the
material on the EVS video servers (XT, XS or XL servers) via the Ethernet
connection. The media you will import will be referenced in the Xedio Media server
(but not physically imported) and its definition will be added to the Xedio
database.
To be able to view the server content in the EVS Server tab, the servers need to
be properly defined in the Linx > EVS Video Server tool in Xedio Manager.

When you use the direct access functionality, you will access the media directly
on the EVS video server, as long as it has not been backed up. If it has been
backed up via XFile (automatic or manual backup) or IPDirector (Send to a
CleanEdit target), CleanEdit will open the backup file, instead of the clip on the
EVS video server.
Important
As clips are not protected from a manual deletion on the EVS video
server, it is highly recommended to perform a backup in XFile or in
IPDirector.
