Grass Valley Aurora Playout v.7.0 - Manual (Page 163)

If desired, you may display trim controls by selecting View | Channel Edit Controls
and setting a new starting point with the Mark In button.
When you play the clip, the clip starts at the new position.
NOTE: The X-keys jog/shuttle controller can be used as an alternative to jogging via the
keyboard and also allows shuttling of the clip.
Playing clips
During a news broadcast, you play clips either according to the script or when the
director signals you.
If not already cued, cue the clip to the desired channel. To cue a clip, drag and drop
it into a channel window.
• Click the Play button in the channel window.
The Play button is a toggle and changes to Stop when clicked; to stop a clip
during play, click the Stop icon to pause it. Click Play to resume playing the
clip.
You can also play the next clip in the playlist by clicking the Play Next button
on the Aurora Playout toolbar.
For ease of operation, you can control clips in the playlist using GPI inputs,
X-keys and keyboard function keys.
Playing clips with Orad graphics
Aurora Playout supports graphics workflow through an interface to the Orad graphics
playout engine, Maestro. Editors can place MOS-driven graphic elements on an Aurora
Edit timeline and then transfer graphic timing information directly to Aurora Playout.
