Grass Valley Aurora Playout v.7.0 - Manual (Page 16)

With the integration of MediaFrame asset management tool and Aurora Playout,
playback operators can search, add and edit metadata of assets created for broadcasts.
In addition, the MediaFrame clip player allows playback operators to preview proxy
assets without taking up a channel of the playout server.
MediaFrame plug-ins can easily be used with Aurora Playout by specifying the
MediaFrame server within the general setting of SDB Server. With that one-time
setting, MediaFrame plug-ins can be accessed within Aurora Playout's Clip Browser,
Housekeeper, Assignment List Plug-in and Assignment List Manager.
To view proxy assets via the MediaFrame clip player, playback operators should have
access to the Proxy Network Attached Storage (NAS) and have roles and licenses
configured. See the MediaFrame documentation for more details on client's
prerequisites and configuration instructions.
Using Aurora Playout
Aurora Playout includes tools to integrate the program production workflow between
a media server, Aurora Edit, MediaFrame and optionally a newsroom computer system.
With Aurora Playout, you can control live playback for your broadcast. You can use
Aurora Playout in two ways:
• Create playlists by linking to a newsroom computer system (NCS)
• Create playlists manually in Aurora Playout
