Setting Up a Workgroup
Before an Aurora Edit workstation can pull media from other Aurora Edit
workstations, you need to set up a workgroup.
To set up a workgroup:
1. Verify that your Share Name matches the folder name you configured for Default
Bins on the General Tab.
If your Default Bins folder has a different name than VibrintAVFiles , change it by
typing the name in the Share Name field.
2. Click Update Workgroup List .
The system lists the available machines for file import or export.
3. Click OK .
Mix MPEG and IMX Compression
Types Check this option to allow video clips of both MPEG and IMX
compression types to be used on this Aurora Edit system. This setting is
off by default.
If you are using IMX compression and sending clips to a Profile for
storage and playout, the Profile Server converts the clips to MPEG
compression. Therefore, you want to check this option so you can use
these clips from the Profile Server at a later time.
Show All 720p Frames in
Timecode Displays When using the 720p video format, check this option to display all
timecode in Aurora Edit as 60/50 frames per second. When unselected,
timecode displays in the standard 30/25 frames per second format. This
setting is off by default.
Mix DV25 Chroma Formats Check this option to allow PAL video clips of varying chroma formats
to be used on this Aurora Edit system. This setting is off by default.
Apply Clean Aperture Cropping By default, Aurora Edit automatically trims a small amount of video
around the edges of a frame to ensure a clean image.
This setting is on by default. Leave this option selected for SD video;
setting is optional for HD video.
