User manual GRASS VALLEY AURORA EDIT 7 DATASHEET

[. . . ] Available in software-only or laptopbased configurations, the Aurora Edit system is a perfect fit in any production operation. It uses standard PC and networking technologies and features broad format support. It also offers a wide array of options for tailoring the platform to the level of production you need. To speed your work the Aurora Edit system eliminates pre-digitizing, and its Realtime EditTM feature lets you see edits as they're made--just as it is done in tape-to-tape editing. [. . . ] The Aurora Edit system can also access feeds captured by the Aurora Ingest system--whether a scheduled or interactive event--to combine media with field footage. With K2 BaseCamp Express integration, Aurora Edit users can search, add, and modify metadata for any asset within the asset management system. In addition, K2 BaseCamp Express allows operators to mark and access key segments of video within any clip. These segments are then searchable and immediately accessible to any other K2 BaseCamp Express enabled client within the system. The Aurora Edit system is fully integrated with the K2 platform for resilient and automated playback and upconversion of finished sequences, eliminating the confusion and errors often associated with tape-based playback while providing the flexibility of output formats in real time or permanently rendered files. For even greater workflow efficiency, the Aurora Edit system offers media object server (MOS) support, letting you integrate it with MOS-enabled newsroom systems such as ENPS, iNEWS, and Octopus. A real-time rundown status display shows the editor how close to air as well as where in the rundown their assigned stories really are. Taken together, these capabilities create an advanced solution that can link your entire news production process--from rundown to script to edit to playback. With this level of integration, producers and editors can access assets, view rundowns, read scripts, and edit video all on a single PC, making it easier, faster, and more efficient to bring breaking news to air. An Intuitive Interface The Aurora Edit interface is incredibly intuitive and has a number of features, tools, and technologies to streamline production workflows. Media Bin Used for organizing clips and storyboarding packages, you can view bins in either thumbnail or tree mode. You can also quickly sort and sift them by name, duration, description, and other familiar database categories. Timeline The timeline lets you view an entire story while editing. It supports two tracks of video plus graphics and titles and up to sixteen tracks of audio. You can record clips and voiceovers directly to the timeline or import them from the media bin. From within the timeline, you can trim clips with frame accuracy or split, move, or reorder them. And you can easily preview real-time effects, such as blur, mosaic, resizes, dissolves, wipes, and variable speed video manipulations. Unmatched Speed and Efficiency By converging video, graphics, text, and effects on a single workstation, the Aurora Edit system supports the multitasking requirements of news professionals. Taking efficiency a notch higher, exchanging sequences between high-resolution and low-resolution workstations is instantaneous as each editing solution has access to the same folders, media, and timelines. As a result, journalists can browse and assemble a low-resolution version of a story using Aurora Edit LD, and Aurora Edit HD can then instantly finish or preview the sequence in high resolution. [. . . ] It is the only nonlinear editing application to retain this familiar tapeediting convention. For editing with file based media, Aurora Edit has an intuitive zoom feature that allows editors to quickly change their working space within a long clip in order to have finer control over scrubbing and marking points. Real-Time Previews Preview transitions, effects, graphics, and closed captioning in real time, directly from the timeline. Enhanced Audio Capabilities Greatly enhancing the Aurora Edit system's audio capabilities is its built-in support for up to eight in, 16 timeline mixed, and eight audio channels out on a physical breakout box. File-based I/O can support up to 16 channels in files, the timeline, and transfers. [. . . ]
