Grass Valley Aurora Edit LD v.7.0 - Manual (Page 183)

Configuring Orad in Aurora Edit
Before using the Orad graphics system, a number of settings must be configured for
proper operation. These configuration settings are normally made during installation.
You can check these settings from your Aurora Edit or Aurora Edit LD application
to make sure they have been set properly.
During installation, the following items must be configured for proper Orad integration
and operation:
• Each client must have the correct Orad plug-in installed on their system in order
to propertly access and present graphics within Aurora Edit and Aurora Edit LD.
NOTE: Refer to the Aurora Edit and Aurora Edit LD Release Notes for the
correct plug-in version to use with this release.
• A single AURORA-GFX site license must reside in the location of the configured
License Server dialog box within the
Tools | Options | General tab in the top menu
bar of the Aurora Edit application.
• When the Aurora Edit application launches, it checks the license server location
for the presence of the AURORA-GFX license.
NOTE: In the unlikely event that multiple editors launch at the exact same time
and try to access the license, one of the clients will be denied access.
• In the Tools | Options | Graphics tab, the Orad selection must be active in the
pulldown and the Enable MOS workflow checkbox must be checked. This allows
Aurora Edit to link to the script and copy graphics to the Timeline.
• The Graphic MOS ID field must match the currently configured Orad MOS ID that
is found in the newsroom computer system.
• The Initial Duration field is provided for when a graphic is saved to the Timeline
and no mark in or mark out has been set for the graphic, it will default to the duration
set here.
• The Play Out duration is the command from Orad telling when a graphic is on-air
and it has an animation to come off the screen this is the typical duration. Every
animation will have a play in and a play out. The play in is known (by the Inititial
duration) and the play out is determined by the Graphics department.
Refer to the Aurora Edit and Aurora Edit LD Installation Manual and the Aurora Edit
and Aurora Edit LD Release Notes and for more detailed instructions for installing
and configuring this option.
Moving Orad MOS objects into Aurora Edit
Once a graphic object in Orad has been saved and tagged to a story, it becomes a MOS
object available for integration into Aurora Edit. This is done by linking to the story
through a new sequence created in Aurora Edit.
