3. You can also open any recording feeds on Scheduler with the Live Feed Viewer

and trim the clip in real-time. Once mark-in and mark-out points had been selected,
you can enter keyword for the trimmed clip and the keyword should be searchable
within the MediaFrame database.

Selecting the Asset Viewer

With the Asset Viewer, you can view a previously recorded item or a currently
recording item, and trim the top and tail of the clip if it is already linked to an Aurora
Playout placeholder. The feature for playback of high-resolution clips on the High
Resolution Asset Viewer is currently supported on K2 media clients only. With the
MediaFrame integration; you can view low-resolution clips using the Asset Proxy
Viewer, provided that proxies have been generated from ingested physical assets.

Playback of high-resolution clips on Asset Viewer requires the configuration of preview
channels in the Preview tab within

Tools|Options

of Aurora Ingest - Server.

If you have a router configured in your system, you need to setup the router source
for the playback channel. Aurora Ingest - Server will switch the router source of the
playback channel to the router destination of video capture card or video monitor
defined in the Video Viewer tab within

Tools|Options

of the Scheduler.

A video capture card is not mandatory because the Asset Viewer window will still
launch and you can trim the clip by previewing it using an external monitor. The Asset
Viewer uses the same video capture device and router destination as the Video Viewer.

Once configured, preview channels will be available for individual clients of Scheduler.
Although multiple clients can be configured to use the same preview channel, it is
advisable to configure multiple preview channels and assign different channels to
different clients.

You can decide whether to view high-resolution or low-resolution clips within

Tools|Options|Video Viewer

of the Scheduler. To view high-resolution clips, you can

set up the preview channel; while to view low-resolution clips, you can check the box
to enable the Proxy Viewer window. Once the Proxy Viewer is selected, the ability
to setup a preview channel is grayed out.

To configure a particular playback channel for the Hi-Res Asset Viewer:

Select it from the Player Channel dropdown list in the Hi-Res Asset Viewer
section within

Tools|Options|Video Viewer

of the Scheduler.
