Editing and Aurora Playout
News editors use the Assignment List Manager component of Aurora Playout to
receive assignments from the producer and return completed assignments.
The Assignment List Manager 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.
With MediaFrame integration, you can add general metadata, keywords and custom
metadata on a placeholder. Once the metadata is added, it will be searchable and
editable throughout all MediaFrame clients.
Using the Assignment List Manager
The Assignment List Manager is for editors to receive assignments from the producer,
to create additional placeholders for clips, and to reassign placeholders to other editors.
The standalone Assignment List Manager runs on any computer in the network.
The embedded Assignment List Manager runs on the Aurora Edit workstation and
integrates with Aurora Edit; the Aurora Edit toolbar displays part of the Assignment
List Manager so you can see the number of assignments you’ve received.
