SmartBins
SmartBins provide a way to automatically synchronize media access between Aurora
Edit and media server bins. A SmartBin monitors a folder on a media server and
automatically updates the SmartBin contents when new or updated media appears.
SmartBins require a license from Grass Valley.
Understanding SmartBins
Using Aurora Edit in shared mode, you can automatically update clips, map folders,
or automatically import files from a Media Server to one of your bins, known as
SmartBins.
Aurora Edit monitors the server folder specified and automatically updates the SmartBin
when new clips or updated feeds appear. You don’t need to go into the server directory
and copy the media into your Aurora Edit bin in order to use it for editing.
