3. Within the Time/Date Info section, you have several options that you can choose
regarding the timing of your recording.
a) Start Record Now—Check this box to start a recording as soon as you click OK .
If you check this box, you can provide an ending time for the record or it can
also be used with Open Ended Record.
b) Open Ended Record—Check this box if you want a recording to continue until
you manually stop it. You only need to provide a start time for the record as
the end time section is grayed out when this option is selected. It can also be
used with Start Record Now.
c) Start Date—Select the date you want the recording to start on using the
drop-down calendar. Move to a different month using the arrows at the top of
the calendar.
d) Start Time—Enter the time you want the recording to start, using the format
hour:minutes:seconds .
NOTE: When scheduling two events back-to-back, a space of 10 seconds
is required from the stop of the first record to the start of the second record.
In order to compensate for this, it is recommended that the default record
duration reflect a stop time 10 seconds prior to the rounded duration (e.g.,
00:59:50 for a 1 hour record).
e) Stop Date—Select the date you want the recording to end on using the drop-down
calendar.
f) Stop Time—Enter the time you want the recording to end, using the format
hour:minutes:seconds .
g) Recurring—Check this box if you want this scheduled event to occur more than
once.
4. Click Add to add the event if you only have the General tab within the Add Event
dialog.
5. If you already configured MediaFrame for use with Aurora Ingest, you can enter
metadata for the asset within the Metadata tab.
• Name — The name of the clip will be the same as the one that you entered in
the General tab.
• Source — Enter the source of the clip.

you can leave it at its default setting: Not Defined.

the Settings tab.
• Search Terms — Enter the search term for the clip so that it will be easy to find
when you search for it using MediaFrame Search component later.
