Graphic Tools
Both Aurora Edit and Aurora Edit LD can interface with two powerful graphic system
options, Orad or VizRT. Plug-ins available from each graphic system basically allow
the journalist to link graphics to scripts as MOS objects and the editor to link to these
scripts and copy the graphics directly to the Timeline.
The Orad system has an end-to-end workflow with integration from the journalist's
desktop directly to playout on air. From Aurora Edit, editors can link to these scripts
and copy graphics directly to the Timeline. Once the grahpic is on the Timeline, the
editor can preview the graphic and has the same add/modify capabilities as the journalist
within the Orad plug-in.
Aurora Edit will embed timing information for graphics triggering from Aurora Playout.
The Orad graphics engine will then be given a command from Aurora playout to play
the graphics at certain times throughout the story. The video output of the Orad graphics
system will then be routed through the switcher for overlay on the video.
