EVS IPDirector Version 6.0 - November 2012 Part 5 User's Manual - Manual (Page 98)

2. Software Player
2.1. Introduction
2.1.1. Context of Use
The Software Player acts as media viewer and allows the users to browse media through
the GigE network.
The Software Player can be chosen as a source for the Control Panel or the Playlist
Panel, in the same way as a normal player channel. Browsed media can also be viewed in
the Video Display. The Software Player can be used with the ShuttlePRO or with the
BEPlay remote. Refer to part 1 of the user manual for explanations on these devices.
You can only open one instance of the Software Player at a time in IPDirector.
As the Software Player works by decoding files on the IPDirector, its performance will
depend on the workstation capacity.
Note
The IP Media Viewer is a software option which allows using the Software
Player for GbE browsing and file preview in the IPDirector interface. It requires
the license key 70 being imported to XSecure. Without this code, the Software
Player is not available.
For more information on the required license key, contact the Support or Sales
team.
2.1.2. Browsable Media
Using the Software Player, you will be able to browse any of the hi-res or lo-res following
media elements as long as they are available on an EVS server or on an online nearline via
the GigE network:
• trains
• XT clips or growing clips defined on an EVS server
• files stored on a nearline storage.
• playlist elements
• playlists
Note
The Software Player will not play transition effects between the playlist
elements. All transitions will be viewed as "Cut".
Once a near line clip is loaded on the player, the user can make sub clips in the same way
as in a normal control panel.
