Grass Valley GV STRATUS v.3.1 - Manual (Page 246)

Using GV STRATUS with iNEWS
The Assignment List in the GV STRATUS ActiveX panel allows you to create placeholders for
clips and link them to the accompanying story slug in the iNEWS rundown.
With the GV STRATUS panel available within iNEWS, you can easily insert placeholders into your
story via drag and drop, and assign playout channels to clips.
To launch the panel, select Tools | Plugins | STRATUS Plug-in .
When you log on, the GV STRATUS application assigns GV STRATUS licenses and roles based
on your user account credentials, as set by the system administrator in the GV STRATUS Control
Panel application. Your credentials must also give you access to all your K2 systems.
