™ ™
system offers highly coordinated ingest
management for the K2 media server/
media client platform, including the K2
Summit production client. Designed for
™
workflow efficiency and flexibility, the
solution is highly configurable, ranging
from simple single workstations for
small operations to fully networked,
high-availability scheduling systems that
fit the needs of the largest tapeless
production environments running 24
hours a day, 7 days a week.
Highly Integrated Server Ingest
The Aurora Ingest system's integrated
capabilities deliver the workflow
efficiencies that television studio
production environments demand.

With its intuitive user interface, the
Aurora Ingest system lets ingest
operators or non-technical staff
control large numbers of K2 channels
using manual or automatic channel
assignment. Scheduling records can be
done via the Aurora Ingest Scheduler, or
through new integration with VizuAll's
ScheduAll application, which allows
operators to manage feeds through a
single user interface.
The Aurora Ingest system also offers a
unique removable-media interface (RMI)
option that lets users pull media directly
from the Grass Valley Infinity
™
as well as Panasonic P2, Sony XDCAM,
and Sony XDCAM EX. Media can be
previewed and trimmed prior to import.
• Single and recurring event schedules
up to one year in advance
• Schedule ingest from ENPS
newsroom computer system
• Integrated with CompuSat satellite
dish management system
• Ingest directly to Aurora Playout
placeholders for direct play to air
• Unique removable media interface
for central ingest of:
— Infinity media files
— P2 and XDCAM media files,
including XDCAM EX

In addition, multiple removable media
assets can be imported as a single
clip within the system. This reduces
database and bin clutter. With the K2
BaseCamp Express option, metadata can
be automatically harvested from external
files through RMI using metadata
mapping tools.
New to 7.0
With version 7.0, RMI can now be
configured to import directly to a K2-only
environment, which is perfect for use in
EDIUS or Final Cut Pro direct SAN-
®
attached editing.
