Editing and Aurora Playout
News editors use the Assignment List component of Aurora Playout to receive
assignments from the producer and return completed assignments.
The Assignment List runs on the computer with the Aurora Edit editing system.
Editors create clips and sequences in Aurora Edit as usual and send them to a media
server. A playlist is received from the NCS or a playback operator uses the clips in
Aurora Playout to create a playlist, and then controls the playback of clips to air.
This chapter is written for news editors and discusses how to use the Assignment List
to:
• Receive assignments from your producer
• Link a sequence with a Aurora Playout placeholder
• Create new clip placeholders
• Delete empty placeholders
• Change clip assignments
• Update clips
Tour of the Assignment List
You use the Assignment List to receive assignments from the producer, to create
additional placeholders for clips, and to reassign placeholders to other editors.
The embedded Assignment List runs on the Aurora Edit workstation and integrates
with Aurora Edit; the Aurora Edit toolbar displays part of the Assignment List so you
can see the number of assignments you’ve received. The standalone Assignment List
runs on any computer in the network.
