About the iTX system
Drivers for SDI video cards
The installation folder includes a subfolder, called Drivers. This folder contains the required
device drivers for the SDI video cards that iTX can use. If any machine in your iTX system does
not have the correct driver for the version of Output Server you are using, you need to install
one from this folder. More details , page 37.
Processing of multi-channel audio
iTX includes an option to use Dolby* technology to decode and encode Dolby Digital and Dolby
E audio content. For these options, separate iTX Licenses are required.
*Dolby is a registered trademark of Dolby Laboratories.
iTX machines, their operating systems and other required software
For a basic iTX system, with playout and recording facilities, you need the machines we
describe here. Complex iTX systems may require additional, or more powerful, machines.
Database Server – one per system
Required operating
system:
Microsoft Windows Server 2008, Standard 64-bit Edition R2 with
Service Pack 1.
Required other software: A Microsoft SQL database server:
SQL Server 2008 Standard Edition.
iTX software module: Database Server.
Optional:
Media Watcher (with iTX Desktop layouts).
The Database Server module includes the iTX System Database and the system services.
In small systems, the Database Server machine may also act as a Media Store. It then requires
the Media Watcher to run on it. The iTX Desktop layouts are installed with the Media Watcher,
which registers them for use in your iTX system. More details , page 25.
If you are using iTX with any of the following system options, you may install the required
software modules on the Database Server machine:
• A matrix router.
