Creating a Playlist
You need to create a playlist before you can play clips to air.
• By opening a rundown that you created in a newsroom computer system
• By manually creating a playlist in Aurora Playout
Opening an NCS Rundown
If you use a newsroom computer system such as ENPS, iNEWS, or Octopus to create
news rundowns, you can open those rundowns in Aurora Playout.
• Select a rundown from the drop-down list and click the Open Rundown button.
The rundown opens in the Aurora Playout application, displays all clips in the
rundown, and cues clips to channels if
Auto Cue on Loading Rundown is enabled.
The playlist displays a headframe for each clip; while a red border and blank
thumbnail appear for clips that are not yet ready for playback.
