Chapter 3 Configuring the NewsBrowse System
Configure Conform Services
This page tells the NewsBrowse application where to store EDLs that are to be
conformed and specifies location to which EDLs are conformed. You can add
multiple machines, each of which is then available for selection from the
NewsBrowse application.
NOTE: Configure different locations for EDL operations. Do not use the same
locations for saving, temporary saving, conforming, and exporting EDLs.
For a Conform-To-Air service, the resultant high-res asset is transferred to an On-Air
media server (usually a stand-alone system) for playout. You must define the
NewsBrowse application display name, the media servers, and the locations to make
this type of Conform-to-Air service available in the NewsBrowse application.
