The Aurora Browse is a workflow management tool for media production environments. It provides desktop access to low-resolution media for searching, browsing, logging, archiving, restoring, and simple content management. The Aurora Browse system is based on Grass Valley’s K2 BaseCamp Express content management architecture. The K2 BaseCamp Express server platform provides the functionality for all Aurora applications to access Aurora Browse features directly and provides an IT industry-standard extensible stylesheet language template (XSLT) interface for the integration of third-party applications.
