The Clarity Configuration panel
You set the properties for a Pixel Power Clarity character generator in the Clarity Configuration
panel:
Select Active to use the Clarity character generator with the channel. This allows an operator to
add a CG from a page in a Clarity character generator to a schedule.
You enter the IP address of the Clarity XML Socket Server in the Address box; and the port
number for this device in the Port box (the default is 1024).
You select the channel number the Clarity character generator uses when sending a template
page to iTX in the Output Channel box.
The setting of the Simple Page Recall button controls how iTX uses the Clarity pages:
•
With the option selected, iTX plays out pages direct from the Clarity machine;
operators cannot edit page content in iTX.
•
With the option not selected, iTX copies pages from the Clarity machine and plays out
the copies; operators can edit the page content on the iTX Desktop.
In the Project Filename box, you enter the name of the default project on the Clarity character
generator. You enter the path of this project on the Clarity character generator in the Project
Path box.
When template pages are available in the project, the operator can select a page in the Clarity
palette of the Content Selector on the Channel Control layout; the page can then be used in
schedule events.
In the Offset Channel Page, you select the number of the page on which you want the Clarity
character generator to generate the image before it is sent to the output channel. In the Page
Range box, you select the page range the character generator uses.
