EDL Export, Save, Conform stage
Configure Conform Services
This page tells the Aurora Browse application where to store EDLs that are to be
conformed and specifies location to which EDLs are conformed. You can add
multiple machines, each of which is then available for selection from the Aurora
Browse application.
NOTE: Configure different locations for EDL operations. Do not use the same
locations for saving, temporary saving, conforming, and exporting EDLs.
For a Conform-To-Air service, the resultant high-res asset is transferred to an On-Air
media server (usually a stand-alone system) for playout. You must define the Aurora
Browse application display name, the media servers, and the locations to make this
type of Conform-to-Air service available in the Aurora Browse application.
