Grass Valley iTX System v.2.6 - Manual (Page 145)

Configuring channels
Channel Config 3 – for playout channels
Type
In the Type box, you select the channel type.
• Transmission channel type is for automated schedule playout control.
• News channel type provides functionality that is particularly relevant to a live News
studio environment, with more manual control of playout. News channels need to be
more responsive to user intervention than a transmission channel. An iTX News
channel uses a specialised version of TX Play tailored for these kinds of ‘ad-hoc’
operations, called TX Live. A News Channel requires additional configuration, Enable
Cue to First Frame in order to facilitate typical News operations.
