Grass Valley Aurora Playout v.8.1 - Manual (Page 11)

With the integration of GV STRATUS Media Workflow Application Framework in Aurora Playout,
playback operators can search, add, and edit metadata of assets created for broadcasts. The GV
STRATUS ActiveX Plugin also allows playback operators to preview assets via the Source Viewer
or the Inspector without taking up a channel on the playout server. In order to use GV STRATUS
within Aurora Playout, the STRATUS-ELITE license is needed on the GV STRATUS Core Services
server.
Using Aurora Playout
Aurora Playout includes tools to integrate the program production workflow between a media server,
an editing application, a newsroom computer system, and the GV STRATUS ActiveX Plug-in.
With Aurora Playout, you can control live playback for your broadcast. You can use Aurora Playout
in two ways:
• Create playlists by linking to a newsroom computer system (NCS)
• Create playlists manually in Aurora Playout
Linking to a Newsroom Computer System (NCS)
The most efficient way to use Aurora Playout is with a MOS-compatible newsroom computer system.
The producer uses the newsroom computer system to create rundowns for news shows, and links
clips to rundown scripts. After the clips are complete, control room personnel use Aurora Playout
to play out the clips to air.
