Overview of the Housekeeper
Playback operators use Housekeeper to remove files from the clip database, import files from media
servers, and to archive clips.
Housekeeper typically runs on the computer with the Main Aurora Playout application, though it
can be installed on multiple computers if necessary.
Due to differences in media server channeless connection limit, not all computers within your
broadcast operation can run Housekeeper application at the same time. If your media server is K2
version 3.2 and above, you can run up to seven Housekeeper applications simultaneously. While
for M-Series, Profile and K2 version 3.1 and lower; only three Housekeeper applications can run at
the same time.
