Grass Valley Aurora Edit LD v.7.0 - Manual (Page 84)

Selecting your source
You can select your input source from the equipment that has been set up in your
working environment. Sources can include tape decks, feeds, or routers.
1. Press 2 to select the Source Tool.
2. Select a source from the drop-down menu.
The image in the viewing monitor changes to reflect the new source.
Using a clip source
You can load any clip from your Bin into the Source Tool, which effectively treats
the clip like a live source such as a tape deck.
1. Drag the clip into the viewer or press Shift + C to load the clip.
2. Edit the footage to the Timeline as you would a tape deck.
Changing sources
You can connect and configure a variety of video and audio sources as input devices
to Aurora Edit.
You can also configure a non-remote source, such as a microphone or a router, as an
input source and specify the tracks to select when using that input source.
1. Press 2 to select the Source Tool.
2. Select a source from the drop-down menu.
The image in the viewing monitor changes to reflect the new source.
Using auxiliary input
You can connect an auxiliary source as an input for creating sequences, which is
helpful if you are using an A-B switch for controlling your sources.
When you enable auxiliary input, Aurora Edit disables deck control from the Timeline
and your keyboard so you can use the device’s external controls.
1. Press 2 to select the Source Tool.
2. Click the Use Aux Input button.
The deck controls on Aurora Edit gray out; you can use the external controls of the
auxiliary device.
