Grass Valley Aurora Ingest v.6.5.2 - Manual (Page 156)

Using VTR Controller
VTR Controller allows you to control up to eight VTRs for VTR Ingest application.
Furthermore, VTR Controller allows you to add, modify, or edit VTRs and configure
them to work with other Aurora Ingest applications.
You can have VTR Controller and VTR Ingest on the same machine or on two
machines connected via Ethernet. If you modify a VTR in VTR Controller, verify the
change doesn’t conflict with the VTR settings in the VTR Ingest application.
