Video restrictions and Evidence locks

Video restrictions and evidence locks both prevent actions from being performed on video material by unauthorized users but there are significant differences.

Video restrictions prevent video or audio sequences from being viewed by unauthorized operators while evidence locks prevent video or audio sequences from being manually or automatically deleted.

When you create an evidence lock, you can also create a video restriction on the same video sequence as you are applying an evidence lock on by selecting the Create playback video restriction check box.

However, when you create a video restriction, you cannot also create an evidence lock at the same time. Instead. you must manually create the evidence lock on the same video sequence you created a video restriction on.

Once created, evidence locks and video restrictions must be edited, maintained and removed individually. There is no connection between a video sequence that has been restricted and any evidence locks applied to the same video sequence.
