Grass Valley Aurora Playout v.6.5 - Manual (Page 76)

The New Clip Entry window appears with Settings tab and Metadata tab (if
MediaFrame is configured):
2. In the Settings tab, enter a clip name.
The name identifies the placeholder in the Assignment List Plug-in (in the NCS),
the Assignment List Manager (in the Aurora Edit system or standalone), and in
the Aurora Playout playlist.
3. Optionally, you can provide additional information about the placeholder:
• Story Type — Select a Story Type from the drop-down menu. Story types are
set in the SDB Server Options. Default story types are SOT (Sound On Tape)
or VO (Voice Over). You can also leave this field blank.
• Category — Select a category from the drop-down menu. The category
determines how stories are grouped and sorted.
• Editorial Duration — Enter a duration for the placeholder or select one from the
drop-down list. The Editorial Duration is an optional value you can set for an
estimated on-air duration of the clip that is changed to a more precise value
later.
NOTE: Editorial Duration has the priority over media duration. Once an
Editorial Duration is set; it will not be adjusted to clip duration, even after
media is associated with the placeholder. The editor needs to set the final
Editorial Duration before the clip is sent for playback.
