Grass Valley iTX System v.2.6 - Manual (Page 254)

Working with iTX services on an Output Server machine
When iTX is not playing out a schedule event or displaying the off-air slide, and there is no
video clip cued, it outputs the last frame of the most recent video-clip event – just as it does
when the configuration option is not selected.
Select a standby slide to override the one selected on the Engineering layout
On the Engineering layout, you specify an off-air slide (still image) for the Output Server to
display when there is no schedule running. Through the Output Server service window, you can
override this setting by selecting a still image from the Test Patterns folder:
You need to add files to this folder before you can use them. The folder path is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTX 2.0\Services\OutputServer\TestPatterns
The Standby Slides / Test Patterns window displays thumbnail images of the files in the folder:
The box under the thumbnails displays the path and filename of the standby slide that you may
want to replace.
1.
In the Standby Slides / Test Patterns window, select the file that you want to use as a
standby slide.
2. Click Set Test Pattern.
When there is no schedule running, iTX displays the slide you select.
You can restore the original selection by clicking Reset.
Set up the Output Server for manual or automatic restart if a video clip causes it to
freeze
If the Output Server freezes while playing a video clip, it may either restart automatically or
display an alert and wait for a manual restart. The behaviour depends on the Alerts setting
under the Engineering tab.
