ANAGEMENT
A set of applications is used to manage the Keyword database, prepare grids and
dictionaries for logging, searching and browsing.
Using the Keyword Management tools, a keyword grid’s or dictionaries content can
easily be changed and organised by the operator and production team to make it
perfectly suited for any sport or live production. An unlimited number of keyword
grids, consisting of up to 300 words each can be managed by IPDirector.
Keyword Management tools allows the addition of single keywords to the database
and therefore to any grid. It also allows the import of keyword grids generated by
an XT sever, keyword grids from other IPDirector installations and also the
integration of keywords and keyword grids from 3
r d party databases which may
already exist such as competitor lists and team or event statistical databases.
Simple text files can also be easily imported into the Keyword Database making it
easy to import data from a web page or other document where words exist for your
event.

SSOCIATION
D
EFINITION
When the IPDirector suite is opened a check is performed to establish that all data
previously stored in the database still has associations that are correct and that
the media is still available on the XNet.
This application allows the user to manually decide which aspects of the
association between clips and logs should be initiated afterwards. This window
normally is used by an experienced IPDirector operator for very specific purposes.
It also allows for a clip to be associated with a log sheet after importing it from
another IPDirector workstation.
Note
The Logging Association process takes around 3 minutes for 100 log
sheets, each containing 100 elements, so the definition of parameters for
this process only applies to when there is a limited time available to start
the system and a large amount of logs are stored.
