Editing and Aurora Playout
News editors use the Assignment List Manager component of Aurora Playout to receive assignments
from the producer and return completed assignments. The Assignment List tool in GV STRATUS
application can also be used by news editors, producers, and journalists in the newsroom.
Editors create clips and sequences in the editing application and send them to a media server. A
playlist is received from the NCS or a playback operator uses the clips in Aurora Playout to create
a playlist, and then controls the playback of clips to air.
With GV STRATUS within the Aurora Playout, you can explore assets using the Navigator and
Asset List panel. To quickly edit assets, you can also launch the Storyboard workspace which
includes the Source Viewer, the Sequence Viewer and the Storyboard Editor. To use the GV
STRATUS application within Aurora Playout, the STRATUS-ELITE license must be installed on
the GV STRATUS Core Services server. For more information regarding licensing, refer to the
Aurora Playout Release Notes.
