2. Keyword Management
2.1 INTRODUCTION
Keywords are an essential element to the IPDirector system, bridging the gap
between the EVS video servers and a conventional database by allowing the user
to search for material using keywords which relate to the media rather than
searching by storage locations.
Keywords allow you to perform searches in logs or clip elements in a unified
manner. Every user can thus be certain that the media and logs are indexed in a
structured manner so as to provide accurate search results.
This application provides tools to add data to the database. It allows the addition
of individual words, importation of existing Keyword Grids of up to 300 keywords,
or the importation of 3
r d party text data into the IPDirector database. Using
Keyword Management tools it is possible to create and edit Keyword Grids,
Keyword Dictionaries and also to import and export keyword files between
different IPDirector installations. Keyword files made on an EVS video server are
also importable.
Dictionaries allow you to manage all your keywords in a structured hierarchy. This
hierarchy allows for similar items to be grouped under headings that are
collapsible and expandable.
