Grass Valley iTX System v.2.6 - Manual (Page 142)

Configuring channels
For a scheduled ingest channel, there are two extra sub-tabs:
• Scheduled Booking Config
• Ingest Config
Below, we give details of the various settings you can make. Not all of them may be relevant to
your system.
Channel Config 1 – for all channel types
Alias
In the Alias box, you can enter an alternative name for the channel. This is the name that
identifies the channel on iTX Desktop layout features (e.g. channel selection buttons on a
Timeline Display).
You should use an alias if you want these features to show different channel names at different
times; for example, when using the iTX channel to play out schedules for differently branded
channels. It is easier to change the alias than to rename the channel.
An alias does not change the main channel name, which identifies the channel in engineering
features (service windows, logs, etc.).
Details
In the Details box, you may enter any comments to remind yourself or inform other users
about the use or configuration of the channel.
Image
From the Image button, you can open PinPoint (the iTX search tool) and select a channel logo.
The logo, which appears in the Image box, identifies the channel on features (the Timeline
Display and Channel Selector) on the Channel Control layout.
Clicking C clears the channel logo.
Configure tracks
From the Configure tracks button, you can open the track-configuration dialog and specify the
default tracks that are to be represented on the Timeline Display (on the Channel Control
layout).
