Grass Valley iTX System v.2.6 - Manual (Page 255)

Working with iTX services on an Output Server machine
Select the check box for the option, Reset when graph stops instead of Alert, in the ‘Alerts’
box to enable the Output Server to restart automatically. Clear the check box if you want the
Output Server to display an alert to restart it manually.
Switch logging for the iTX Player on or off
Select Use Rolling Logs if you want iTX to record the activity of the iTX Player in log files. Ensure
the option is not selected if you do not want iTX to do this.
You can limit the size of the log files you wish to be generated (the default is 10240mb) and
also set the directory path that you would like the logs to be written to.
The default path of the folder in which iTX stores the log files is:
C:\ITXLogs
We recommend that you have logging switched on for a test period immediately after the
installation of your iTX system. The logs may provide relevant information if there are any
problems with the types of media file you use. You may switch it off once you are satisfied
there are no such problems.
Send a test SCTE 104 command from the Output Server to TXPlay
A SCTE 104 message in a live video signal prompts a "take next" response from iTX when the
next event in a playout schedule is a sequence. The sequence must be set to allow external
takes. You can simulate the sending of an SCTE 104 message by using the button in the Test
SCTE 104 panel.
1.
In the Op code box, enter one of the following.
• Enter a "1" for iTX to send an SCTE 104 command to start the playout of the sequence.
• Enter a "3" for iTX to send an SCTE 104 command to end the playout of the sequence.
2. In the Delay in milliseconds box, enter a value (in thousandths of a second) for any delay
you want TXPlay to allow before it responds to an SCTE 104 command.
3. Click Fire event to request the Output Server to send an SCTE 104 command to TXPlay.
Set the delay for an SCTE 104 command from the Output Server to TXPlay
You can set the delay TXPlay allows before it responds to an SCTE message. The delay applies to
certain types of SCTE 104 message sent from the Output Server to TXPlay.
1.
In the Delay in milliseconds box, enter a value (in thousandths of a second) for the delay.
2. Click Set Delay.
Adjust the output timing for the Output Server SDI video card
For an Output Server machine with a Xena 2Ke SDI video card, you can adjust the horizontal
and vertical output timing relative to the time reference signal. This allows the SDI video card
to synchronise an incorrectly timed video input signal to the time reference signal.
