Grass Valley Aurora Playout v.7.0 - Manual (Page 185)

The Explore section allows users to create short-cuts to frequently used MDI folders
by adding them to
Personal Favorites list.
The Collections section allows users to create short-cuts to frequently used assets for
easy access. Users can choose to create collections for logical or physical assets that
they use repeatedly.
NOTE: Putting an asset into a collection does not move the asset; it only creates a
reference that points to the original asset.
To search for assets within the MediaFrame database, do the following steps:
1. Select the Search button on the MediaFrame plug-in.
2. Enter any word related to the asset name or asset metadata that you want to search
for.
3. Click the Search button to start the searching process.
Search results appear showing logical assets that contain metadata and links to
any physical assets including high-resolution media and proxy video.
4. You can select an asset, drag and drop it into a placeholder within the Clip Import
tab of the Housekeeper.
The transfer process will be automatically initiated and you can see the progress
on the Transfer monitor.
Searching for an asset by name
Do not enter more than one word in the Asset Name text field unless you want to find
both words exactly as typed with spaces.
NOTE: The Asset Name field does not recognize quotation marks.
To search for an asset by name, enter text or numbers in the Asset Name text field
and click the
Search button.
Search results list assets that contain the search term in the name of the asset, even if
it is a fragment of the name.
Searching for an exact phrase
How you search for an exact phrase depends on whether you’re entering the search
term in the Asset Name or the Asset Metadata text field.
NOTE: The Asset Name field does not recognize quotation marks.
• If you search within the Asset Metadata text field, enter the phrase in quotation
marks.
• If you search within the Asset Name text field, enter the exact phrase.
