1. Introduction

1.1 Purpose

IPBrowse is a simple stand-alone application designed for browsing the lo-res content available in the IPDirector database. Nearline storage is accessible as well. News or sport journalists and assistant producers are users who will benefit from this application.
The IPBrowse window is an inte grated win dow from which it is possible t o perform all the following actions. Users can ap ply different search techniques to find the right media from the list of clips and logs. The results are clearly presented in a list, easy to consult. A Player pane is used to displa y the selected m edia, browse it and create a clip from it if needed. Users place the selected clips in pr edefined bins where clips can b e re-ordered. Then, they send the bin content to target destinations, such as post-production systems.
Logs added to media are particu larly useful to easily and quickly retrieve t he interesting moments of the recorded sequences. Logs cannot be created with IPBrowse, but they can with IPDirector or Clip Logger. IPBrowse can be used to search for logs, preview them on the Player pane inside the c lip(s ) as s oci ated to them and create ne w c l ips bas ed on the logs.
Floating licenses are suppor ted, so a large number of s tations can be equipped with the IPBrowse application.
Note
The IPBrowse application works with floating license database.

4.5.4 How to Load a Clip Associated to a Log

Once clips containing a log timecode have been created, the IPDirector system automatically associat es th es e c lips to th e lo g. F rom IPBrowse, it is possible to load a c li p associated to a log at the log timecode. It can be seen as loading a log.
To do so, proceed as follows:

2.
In the Elements grid/list, do one of the following:

• Drag the log line to the Player pane
The clip associated to the log is loaded on the Player pane, at the log timecode.

On some occasions , a log has no ass ociated c lip , so the log c annot b e previewed.
3.
If the log has been created on a ganged recorder c hannel, it has been assoc iated to all the linked clips. You can load another associate d clip thanks to the Prev or Next functions or the Recorder Channel Selection field, as described in s ection
4.5.3 ‘How to Load a Linked Clip’ on page 47. The clip is loaded on the Player pane on the log timecode.
Important
If you create a sub-clip whic h contains a log timecode, this ne w clip will be associated to the log and it will be counted as such in the Logs Elements list but you will not be able to load it by this way.
You can then browse the clip, create a new clip and send it to a bin. An associated clip cannot be trimmed because the IPDirector has protected it.

Clips can be sent to var iou s dest inati ons , inc ludi ng t hi r d party systems (i.e. NLE systems) and storage paths. The transfer is initiated from the Bins pane. Clips m ay automatically be sent to a target as soon as the y are put into a b in or they can be selected later on f rom the Bins pane. T he transfer may concern a s election of clips or c lips from an entire bin . The choice of several targets is possible and the transfer can be monitored from the interface.

8.2 Publishing a Bin

8.2.1 Purpose and Context of Use

Rather than sending a bin content to a t arget desti nation, users may want to simpl y show the clips from a bin to a group of users. They can publish the bin to a selected group.

8.2.2 How to Publish a Bin

To publish a bin, proceed as follows:
1. From the bin tab you want to publish, click the Publish button.
The Publish window opens.
2. Select the user group(s) to which you want to publish the bin in the Available
Groups area on the left. Keep CTRL pressed for a multiple selection.

The options are:
• Auto send
• Send bin as clips
• Send bin as edit
• Send a selection of clips

8.3.3 Auto Send Mode

Purpose and Context of Use
The Auto Send mode is used to automatically send a clip to a predefined destination target at the time of clip creation, without clicking any additional button or key.
This mode will be chosen, f or example, when an assistant c reates clips and must send them to the editor who makes the edit on the NLE s ystem as soon as clips are being created.
When one or s everal clips are copied or m oved to a bin f or which the Auto Send m ode is activated, these clips are automatically sent to the predefined destination target as well.
