Chapter 1 Introducing Aurora Playout
Chapter 2, “NCS Rundowns and Aurora Playout,” describes the Assignment List
Plug-in.
The Assignment List
The Assignment List comes in two forms: standalone and embedded into the Aurora
Edit application.
Producers (or other station personnel) use the standalone Assignment List to
determine how many clips are missing for a given news show. Editors use the
embedded Assignment List to receive assignments from the producer. Both forms of
the Assignment List are used to create additional placeholders for clips and to reassign
placeholders to other categories.
The standalone Assignment List runs on any computer on the network—an icon in the
task bar flashes red when items in the selected category or rundown are missing.
