The Linked to Clips List displays the clips linked to the loaded clip.
Clips can be linked to another clip in two ways:
• When a clip is created on a channel ganged to other channels, the clips created
simultaneously on the ganged channels will automatically be linked to the clip.
• When a user manually links a clip to another one. To link two or more clips
together, you need to select them in the Database Explorer and choose Link
from the contextual menu.
Double-clicking a linked clip will load it on the Control Panel.
Right-clicking the linked clip will display a contextual menu that is related to the
linked clip (not to the loaded clip).

When you click the Grab Thumbnails button, you manually save a small image of
the clip for use as a thumbnail. The thumbnail image will be that of the current
position in the clip when you click the Grab Thumbnail button.
The Grab Thumbnails button is only available when an A/V board has been
activated and linked to the channel in the IP Director Configuration module of the
Remote Installer.
