Configuring channels
Configuring channels
When the iTX installer creates playout, edit and cache channels for an Output Server machine,
it selects options and sets values for some basic channel properties.
After starting the services on the machine for the first time, you should check the default
channel settings and make any adjustments that your system requires. To do so, you use the
Channel Configuration pop-up layout. This layout, which you display from the Engineering
layout, contains features that enable you to perform the following tasks.
• Modify the properties of a channel.
• Set options for channel plug-ins. Plug-ins are software components that give channels
extra functionality. Different iTX systems may have different sets of plug-ins.
The features you use for these tasks are arranged under two main tabs – the Channel tab and
the Plugins tab – on the pop-up layout:
After changing channel settings, you may need to restart the services by restarting the Server
Controller on the Output Server machine.
