Introducing Aurora Edit LD
Aurora Edit LD combines the editing features of Aurora Edit with the flexibility of
Aurora Browse. You use Aurora Edit LD to browse and edit low-resolution versions
of high-resolution video, assemble shots and clips, and create sequences and
storyboards for editorial review.
As video is ingested, a high-resolution (broadcast quality) version is stored on a
Media Server. At the same time, Aurora Browse processes the high-resolution feed
and creates a low-resolution version that it stores locally on a Network Attached
Storage (NAS) unit. Aurora Browse then creates video thumbnails to index the video
by scene.
After using Aurora Edit LD to create a sequence from the low-resolution media, you
can send completed sequences to a Media Server for playout or for additional editing
using Aurora Edit. You can also archive and restore high-resolution media.
This manual shows you how to use Aurora Edit LD effectively and efficiently to
produce quality on-air news and sports stories.
