Grass Valley Aurora Playout v.7.0 - Manual (Page 123)

Inserting placeholders manually into ENPS
As an alternative to using the ENPS Auto Create feature, you can manually create
placeholders and add them to your story scripts.
1. Create a rundown as you normally would. See the ENPS documentation for details.
2. Create a new story in ENPS and open it.
3. Create a new placeholder using the Aurora Playout Assignment List Plug-in,
Assignment List Manager, or Housekeeper.
4. Drag the new placeholder from the Assignment List Plug-in to the ENPS editing
window.
The script within ENPS now shows an embedded MOS Object, which represents
the on-air placeholder.
5. Save the script.
The placeholder is added to the ENPS rundown.
NOTE: You can also use this method to add an existing placeholder to your script.
Assigning playout channels to clips in ENPS
Using ENPS, you can assign playout channels to stories in a rundown. When a playback
operator opens the rundown, stories are already assigned to playout channels.
1. Click the MOS Channel column for the story you want to assign.
2. Enter the channel name in the MOS Channels box and click OK .
You must enter the channel label exactly as it was set up in Aurora Playout.
The story is assigned to that channel and appears on the “Assign” column of the Aurora
Playout application.
Searching assets in ENPS
As feed events are recognized as MOS objects, they can be searched within ENPS
similar to finished story placeholders.
