during play, click the Stop icon to pause it. Click Play to resume playing the
clip.
You can also play the next clip in the playlist byclicking the Play Next button
in the Aurora Playout toolbar.

Archiving Clips
The Archive Play feature allows you to automatically play all clips in a playlist on a
selected channel and record the output of that channel on a VTR.
You need to create a black clip if you don’t have one.
To configure Archive Play, you must select the archive channel from the Archive Play
configuration tab. You can also change the Archive Black duration on that tab; Aurora
Playout rolls five seconds of black between each archived clip by default.
1. Click the Archive Play button to enable Archive Play.
A message indicating successful connection to the VTR appears.
2. Cue a clip to the archive channel.
Select the first clip and click the Cue All button on the toolbar.
NOTE: If you are archiving clips to a VTR, the first clip cued is the BLACK
file.
3. Click the Play button in the channel window.
Aurora Playout starts the VTR deck recording and a message indicating play
has started appears.
