Testing the NewsShare Installation
To verify that NewsShare is working properly:
1. Record a short DV, MPEG2, or I-frame-only clip on a Media Server.
2. Verify that each Aurora Edit workstation is running in shared mode (indicated on the
main title bar).
3. Create and open a test bin, and then drag the new clip into the new Aurora Edit bin.
4. Create a new sequence and drag the clip from the Bin to the Timeline.
5. Cue to the head of the sequence and play it.
6. Leave the sequence open on that workstation.
7. On a second workstation, use the Bin Explorer to find and open the sequence you
created on the first workstation.
8. Acknowledge the message that the sequence is edit-locked.
9. Cue to the head of the sequence and play it.
10. Close the read-only sequence.
11. On the first workstation, save the sequence and close it.
12. Create a send destination for the Media Server.
13. Send the sequence to that destination.
14. On the Media Server, open the sequence and play it.
