Creating an Off-line Playlist from a Nearline Storage
The clips to be included in the playlist are present on a nearline storage (SAN, IPDrive,…),
but not (all) on an EVS server.
The playlist to be created can be sent to a target for further editing on an NLE system
(AVID, FCP, CE,…) and/or restored to the server when it has to be played out.
# Action See section...
1. Sort the files present on the nearline using the Software
Player, and place them into a bin.
2. Create an off-line playlist on the Software Player, and
define it as the default playlist. "Creating Playlists" on
page 32.
3. Add the clips (files and possibly some XT clips) into the
playlist. "Adding Elements to a
Playlist" on page 60.
4. Select a player channel and restore the files on an online
EVS server.
OR
Send the playlist (EDL + clips) to a target corresponding
to the NLE system in which you need to further edit the
playlist.

Element" on page 68.

Creating a Playlist with Virtual Playlist Elements
In some production workflows, the playlist definition is based on a rundown managed by a
Newsroom Computer System (NRCS). The playlist definition is thus automatically
imported into IPDirector, whereas the clips themselves are not yet available on the XNet
network or on the GigE network.
In other workflows, the playlists are created manually in IPDirector, but some clips will
only be available on the XNet network or on the GigE network later on.
The playlist elements that are not yet available are created as virtual playlist elements in
IPDirector. Once an element becomes available on the XNet Network, it is automatically
associated and the virtual element disappears.
See section "Inserting Virtual Elements in a Playlist" on page 65 for more information.
1.4.3. Creating Playlists
Introduction
Playlists can be created on-line or off-line, depending on whether a channel is assigned to
it or not.
• A playlist can be created on-line if a channel has been first assigned to the Playlist
Panel. The system immediately puts the playlist on-line on that EVS server.
