Chapter 2 Setting Up Your NCS for Aurora Playout
Adding Breaks in Your Rundown
With Aurora Playout, you can add breaks to your rundown. The Aurora Playout
Assignment List Plug-in has a placeholder called BREAK that you use to link to a line
in your rundown.
To add a break:
1. In the newsroom computer system (NCS) application, insert a new line which will
be used as the break.
2. Open this story of the rundown.
3. From the Aurora Playout Assignment List Plug-in, drag the BREAK placeholder
into the story.
4. Save the story.
The break appears in the Aurora Playout playlist as a blue break line.
NOTE: With the current version of iNEWS and Octopus newsroom computer systems,
setting BREAK as the story property or story type in the rundown of both systems will
not show the break in Aurora Playout. To avoid this problem, iNEWS and Octopus
users should not mark the story as a break item. Please refer to your NCS
documentation on ways to create customized rundown templates that could readily
include BREAK placeholder from the Assignment List Plug-in.
