Of
fl
ine Proxy Support
—
Aurora Edit and Aurora Edit LD can preview and edit
with proxy media that is associated with of
fl
ine archived hi-resolution video. This
feature allows editors to use archived of
fl
ine assets within a Timeline as if they
were present in the online news database. The of
fl
ine assets become available in
the bin by doing a MediaFrame search. Finding of
fl
ine assets can be accomplished
by setting up
fi
lters in the Aurora search tool or by searching for a known archived
asset. Once the search is done, the asset search results are placed in the Aurora Edit
or Aurora Edit LD bin, identi
fi
ed by an orange dot next to the name, and become
available as editable material on the Timeline. Refer to
Editing using of
fl
ine proxy
media
on page 66 in New Topics for using this feature.

Preserve ANC Data
—
Sequences created in Aurora Edit have a Preserve ANC
Data checkbox that when selected will allow ancillary data in clips sent to a
Smartbin from a K2 or Summit storage device to be preserved on the Timeline.
The closed captioning present in the ancillary data of a clip can be displayed on
the SDI output of an optional AJA Breakout Box (BOB) (LHi version only). When
incoming feeds with closed captioned data are recorded to a K2 or Summit storage
device, the K2 or Summit will put this data into an ancillary data track when the
generate ancillary data option is turned on on the K2 or Summit device. This is
done in Audio/Video con
fi
guration under Data Track Setup on the K2 or Summit.
When clips with this data are fed to an Aurora Edit Smartbin, the ancillary data
can be expected to be preserved in the clip (Preserve ANC Data checkbox must be
selected for the sequence) and allow any closed captioning in the data track to be
monitored on the SDI output of an AJA Breakout Box (BOB) option. Refer to
Preserving ANC Data
on page 67 in New Topics for more detailed information
on this feature.

XDCAM EX Support
—
XDCAM EX
fi
les will show up in the removable media
bin of Aurora Edit. These will be part of the supported XDCAM series from Sony.

fi
les import

supported. For instance, 24fps is not supported and does not display in the removable
media bin if found on disk. "View as Tape" will not mix and match XDCAM HD
and XDCAM EX media. They are treated as different formats, even if the
characteristics of the
fi
le formats are similar.
