Grass Valley iTX System v.2.6 - Manual (Page 147)

Configuring channels
By selecting from available routers and crosspoints, you can enter these details:
• In the Matrix box, the name of the matrix router (or Router Bridge).
• In the Channel Destination box, the router destination on which the transmission
system receiving the channel output is connected. iTX requires this entry if the channel
is part of a master/slave setup. Any channel that is routed to this destination is, by
definition, the master or leader channel. See later in this section, "Master/Slave
Setup", page 148.
• In the Channel Output box, a router source that the channel output is fed into. iTX
requires this entry if the channel is part of a master/slave setup. See later in this
section, "Master/Slave Setup", page 148.
• In the Channel Output 2 box, any router source you want to monitor. iTX can route
this source to a monitor when the channel is selected on the Channel Control layout.
This option is useful for monitoring the live video signal for a passthrough channel that
is being fed into an Output Server machine.
• iTX can be set up to route the sources in the Channel Output and Channel Output 2
boxes to video monitors when the channel is selected on the Channel Control layout.
Clicking C (to the right of any entry) clears the selection.
Default Live Asset
Where a fixed or hardwired router source is used for a number of different live assets that are
unknown to iTX, a default live asset can be substituted in each case without changing the
unique names of the original live assets. Such a situation may arise in schedules delivered from
a traffic system.
To configure this you need to enter the name of the default live asset in the Default Live Asset
box:
You also need to clear the Matrix and Destination boxes on the Live Event Configuration panel:
This will prevent iTX from assuming that the Live Event Source does not exist as a preconfigured
routable source and therefore flag the item as Not Ready. Instead when the item cues, the
default settings are deployed.
