1. Introduction

An installation of Xedio Suite can include a single workstation providing a single fast and easy editing facility or a range of workstations running the various applications included in the sui te to provide a complete newsroom or sports centre video production solution.
Each installation of a Xedio Suite requires its own specific config uration and set of parameters. All the workstations, the users, their associated projects, and the whole media pool are available to the system. Each of these is referenced within the Xedio database.
Xedio Manager is the application within the suite that manages the configuration of the installation and defines the paramet ers used by the system.
Xedio Manager is designed for system administrators to easily use and set the system up from the very beginning of the installation to the daily asset and content management.
Xedio Manager can be installed on all computers connected to the Xedio network. The only requirement is an ODBC connection to the database; o therwise there are no specific computer o r network requirements nec essary to enable use.

2.2.2 THE OUTLOOK BAR

The Outlook bar presents nine tabs. They correspond to the areas managed by Xedio Manager.
When Xedio Manager is started for the first time, only the Media and Users tabs are shown. You need to create a media server before being able to see all the tabs. See section 6.2 ‘Media Servers’ on page 34.
The following table briefly describes the va rious categories:

Each category provides access to a series of items. Once a category tab is selected, its specific items are shown as icons. Select any of these icons to display its relevant interface in the Work area.
Refer to the different chapters of the present manual for complete information on each category managed by Xedio Manager.

2.2.3 THE WORK AREA

The Work area is only active when an item is selected in one category from the Outlook area. Thus, the window displayed in the Work area depends on the selected item. Parameter s are set from this area.

2.2.4 THE LOGBOOK AREA

The Logbook area lists the operations that the user performs in the database and their status. If a problem occurs, an error message is added in the list. At the same time, the applica tion saves all this info rmation in a log file.

3.1 INTRODUCTION

Encoders are physical devic es which allow the digitization o f incoming audio/video feeds into multiple file formats. Most of the models are configured to encode lo­res or hi-res feed. They can be logically grouped to associate physical encoders handling the same feed, either in hi-res or in lo-res. So, editing operations can be quickly performed on lo-res media and then reflected to the corresponding hi-res media for further news production and play out.
The XEDIO I/O encoder model is a ble to encode both lo-res and hi-res at the same time.
Five items are available in the Encoders category. They are detailed in the table below.

3.3.1 INTRODUCTION

When you click the Logical Manager button, the Logical Encoders Manager window is displayed in the Work area, allowing you to logically group physical encoders as being part of the same channel. Possible configurations use two encoders in hi-res and lo-res or one encoder in hi-res only. With a XEDIO I/O encoder model, lo-res and hi-res are recorded by t he same encoder.

3.3.2 CREATING LOGICAL ENCODER

4.1 INTRODUCTION

Xedio “Add-On” for EVS Video Server is based on LinX protocol and XT Gateway. The LinX Application Programming Interface is an integrated API used to access the EVS family video s ervers through Ethernet/I P connection.
Xedio can access EVS video server disks (e.g. XT[2], XS) and use the media stored on EVS server thanks to XTGateway, provided that they have previously been configured. Xedio will then be able to see, display, search and access clips and record trains on EVS video servers. New clips could be created in CleanEdit from EVS video servers.
Two items are available in the LinX category. They are detailed in the tabl e below.

6.6.3 SEARCHING THE DATABASE

INTRODUCTION
When the database contains large amount s of data, it may become difficult to find a specific element. Th e Xedio Suite offers sever al ways to speed up your se arch:
• quick text search
• filters on pa rameters
By default, the columns that are taken into consideration for the Quick Text Search are the ones cu rrently visible in the grid.
If you wish to search in other columns, and view the string you are searching for in the columns, you can:
• add other columns to the element grid view
• use Filters, as explained in section ‘ Advanced Filters’ on page 47
These search tools are explained in detail be low. Quick text search and filters on parameters, as well as several filters on
parameters, can be com bined and saved for later use. All the criteria must be met in the results list ( an ‘AND’ operator is applied). These Saved Filters can then be applied in one click.

Yellow card Searches for the strings ‘yellow’ and ‘card’
different fields (columns), for example ‘yellow’ in Name and ‘card’ in Keywords.
For example a clip named ‘The Yellow Man’ with keywords ‘Red Card’ will be found, since it has yellow and card in 2 different
fields. "Yellow card" Searches for s trings containing ‘Yellow car d’. Yellow | card Searches for ‘yellow’ or ‘card’
(columns), for example ‘yellow’ in Name or ‘card’ i n Keywords.
Spaces around the | si gn are mandatory. yell* Searches for ‘yell’ at the beginn ing of a string. *low Searches f or ‘low’ at the end of a string. Ye*low Searches for strings with ‘ye’ at the beginning and ‘low
end. Ye*low 123 Searches for strings with ‘ye’ at the beginning and ‘low
end and which contains ‘123’. =card Sear ches for a string exactly equals to ‘card’.
For example, if a field co ntains ‘yellow card’, the =card condition
will not return any re sult. =”yellow card” Searches for a string exac tly equals to ‘yellow car d’.
The use of quotes is required due to the space between ‘yellow’
and ‘card’.
