• synchronize the playback of channels that are ganged together
• offer parallel control or exclusive control to be passed to third party devices
(controllers, editors, vision mixers…etc).
• attribute extended metadata to the media loaded.
Within the Control Panel a clip list can be built using a conventional drag and drop
technique from the Database Explorer. Controls for the transition effect, transition
duration, next, and skip are readily accessible and re-ordering, insertion and
deletion of clips can be made even as the list is rolling to air
Using the Control Panel with a Secondary Control function gives traditional
devices such as linear editors the power of instant access to any material
available on the EVS XNet network. Any media, even while being recorded, can be
cued using the Control Panel and simultaneously controlled by 3rd party editors,
controllers and switchers using industry-standard RS-422 protocols (Sony BVW,
Odetics, VDCP, etc…).

The Playlist Panel allows multiple playlists to be created, modified and played to
air using an efficient workflow with a great deal of flexibility.
The playlist workflow involves using other application windows, such as Database
Explorer or Control Panle, for creation and management of playlists.
Advanced functions can be used, which means that playlists with different
transition effects between elements can be created in contrast to simple clip-lists
from the Control Panel.
A variety of playout effects can be defined such as audio and/or video transition
effects, different playout speed, skipping an element, looping playlist elements.
Different stop or start options can be programmed for the different elements of a
playlist. Tags can be defined on playlist elements at specific timecode to carry out
specific audio or video actions during playout.

IPEdit allows complete timeline editing. Drag-and-drop and keyboard shortcuts,
make it easy to do video and audio transition effects. Video graphics and voice-
over can be added to the timelines.
Up to four audio tracks (a total of 8 audio channels) provide flexible audio editing,
including audio swap, mute, and volume automation.
Up to two simultaneous timelines can be created per XT[2] server. GPI Out allows
for external device automation, and the ability to play out while editing ensures a
«speed to air» workflow.
