Map a graphics-script template to a graphics script

In a schedule that is in the format defined by the iTX Import Protocol, graphics events may

feature graphics-script templates. To enable iTX to play out such events, you need to map the

templates to graphics scripts in the iTX system.

After selecting a playout channel, perform this procedure for each graphics-script template that

appears in imported schedules.
1.

Select GFX 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 the graphics-script template as it appears

in imported schedules.
For example, enter "Breaking News" for the graphics script in this schedule entry:

ITEM

clip GFX

data Breaking News|1:Live Report|

...

end

4.

Click OK to close the dialog.

iTX opens PinPoint, the iTX search tool.

5.

Use PinPoint to select a graphics script 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 graphics-script in the CG Page box.
The Save button flashes; this is to show there are unsaved changes.

6.

Click Save to save the graphics-script mapping.

iTX associates the graphics-script template with the graphics script.
