Grass Valley Aurora Playout v.6.5 - Manual (Page 138)

Rather than deleting clips, if you want to update a clip after it has been sent to a media
server for playback, you can overwrite it by associating the new sequence with the
same placeholder.
1. On the Housekeeping tab, right-click on the clip you want to remove.
2. Choose Delete clip from media servers .
The clip is removed from the media server and appears as “Missing”. In the
Housekeeper Placeholder list, the placeholder remains but the thumbnail is empty
with a red box around it.
NOTE: If the media fails to delete, make sure it is not Protected and is not currently cued
to a channel in Aurora Playout.
Importing clips from a media server
With the Housekeeper utility, you can import clips from media servers. You associate
these clips with an Aurora Playout placeholder for use in your broadcast.
Importing clips from a media server provides a greater selection of video footage from
which to choose. Imported clips are copied into your database and into the media
server’s playout bin.
You have several ways to search for clips and placeholders in Housekeeper. The most
common way is to scroll down through the list to find the clip or placeholder that you
need. You can also get to a specific clip or placeholder by entering the first few
characters of the title.
1. Click on one of the clips or placeholders in the Housekeeper window and scroll
down to search. •
• Use the up and down arrow keys on your keyboard to navigate through the list.
• To search for a specific clip or placeholder, type the first character and the active
bar will automatically go to a clip or placeholder that starts with that character.
