Within IPDirector, you can protect and unprotect a clip mainly from the contextual

menus of the Database Explorer and the Control Panel or during the creation of a
clip.

Note

When you protect a XT hi-res clip, the lo-res version (if present) is

protected automatically and vice versa. Then, two icons will be
displayed, one for each XT clip. The protect feature does not affect hi-
res or lo-res files.

If a clip is protected by the IPDirector protocol, a green Protect icon

appears

in the Protect column of the element.

If the clip is protected by another protocol, a red Protect icon

appears in the

Protect column.

Note
It is possible to protect a clip via IPDirector if it is already protected by
another protocol. This will ensure that the clip remains protected even if
it is unprotected later by the other protocol.

In IPDirector, it is not possible to remove the clip protection defined by
another protocol.
