Configuring channel plug-ins
Map a CG template to a CG file
In a schedule that is in the format defined by the iTX Import Protocol, CG events may feature
CG templates. To enable iTX to play out such events, you need to map the templates to CG files
in the iTX system.
After selecting a playout channel, perform this procedure for each CG template that appears in
imported schedules.
1.
Select CG on the Schedule Import Configuration panel.
2. Click Create.
iTX opens the Enter Template Name/Number dialog.
3. In the Name box, enter the name or number of a CG template as it appears in imported
schedules.
For example, enter "News Crawl" for the CG template in this schedule entry:
ITEM
clip CAPTION
data News Crawl|With:Mike Barker|
...
end
4. Click OK to close the dialog.
iTX opens PinPoint, the iTX search tool.
5. Use PinPoint to select a CG file from the iTX System Database.
When you close PinPoint, iTX displays the template name or number in the Template box
and the name of the CG file in the CG Page box.
The Save button flashes; this is to show there are unsaved changes.
6. Click Save to save the CG mapping.
iTX associates the CG template with the CG file.
Set default playout properties for a CG template
You can assign default playout properties to a mapped CG template; for example, its in- and
out-transitions.
1.
Select CG on the Schedule Import Configuration panel.
2. Select a mapped CG in the Template box.
3. Click In, to select the in-point settings:
