EVS IPClipLogger Version 6.15 - April 2013 User Manual - Manual (Page 10)

1.3. Typical Workflows
Overview
The IPClipLogger supports several workflows listed below.
• Watch a live broadcast, create clips from it and add logs to these clips
• Select an existing clip and add logs to it
• Select an existing clip, create a sub-clip from it and add logs to this sub-clip
Note
The workflow which consists of logging a live broadcast (record train) without
first making clips is not in the scope of the IPClipLogger. It is supported by the
IPLogger module of the IPDirector software.
Modes of Use
To match those different workflows, the IPClipLogger provides two modes of use.
• Player mode: the IPClipLogger window contains a Video Display to watch the media,
and transport functions to browse through the loaded media.
This mode will always be used when logging is done on an existing clip, after the live
event. It can also be used when users make clips and logs on a live broadcast.
• Live mode: the IPClipLogger window does not contain any Video Display.
This mode can only be used when a live broadcast is being clipped and logged and
users watch the scene being recorded live or on a monitor.
In case several cameras are recording the event, clips and logs will be created on the
camera angles selected by the users.
Context of Use
Reality shows and News are, among others, the main business environments that will
benefit from the use of IPClipLogger.
In News workflows, a large amount of material is received every day. All the media that
will be archived need to be clearly identified and interesting events must be flagged to be
quickly retrieved later on if required. The IPClipLogger is designed to easily fulfill those
tasks.
Librarians or journalists are generally in charge of those operations. They will be able to
search for a clip, load the clip on the Player pane and identify it with a name or a unique
identifier, keywords and a metadata profile. They will add logs to the clip and, if logs
already exist for that clip, they will be able to review them and possibly edit them. A
description, keywords and other categorizing metadata can be associated to logs.
The Player mode will be used in this kind of workflow.
