Note:
• iTX CG files may include text with characters from any OpenType font that is installed
on an iTX Desktop workstation. The font must also be installed on any Output Server
that is to play out the CG.
• The Media Watcher converts .bmp files to .png files before registering them. This is to
reduce their file size (without loss of quality) and so make them easier for iTX to
process during playout.
• iTX displays the images in an animated sequence at the frame rate of the playout
channel.
• The Media Watcher can accept Pro-Bel schedules. For more information, contact iTX
Support.
• When the Media Watcher registers a .mov or .mxf file from an Omneon video server, it
uses the timecode information in media-file metadata (information linked to the clip)
to set the in-point and out-point in the asset.
