Grass Valley iTX System v.2.6 - Manual (Page 257)

Working with iTX services on an Output Server machine
Device Number
This window indicates the device number of the Output Server AJA Card if the Output Server
machine is an iTX Appliance Server capable of supporting multiple playout channels in one
server. The device number is configured during installation and cannot be changed from here.
MXF Partition Size
These radio buttons allow you specify whether the output server should read the minimum
(duration, frame count and vital information only) or maximum available data from the closing
footer of MXF files.
Restart iTX Player on Media Failure
By default ‘Restart iTX Player on Media Failure’ is disabled. If Pandoa encounters a media error
the standby slide will be displayed, allowing the operator time to ‘Take Next’.
When this option is enabled if Pandora encounters a media error it will restart iTX Player.
Mezzanine Output
This panel is where you enable and configure the IP based simulcast option. A special type of
Encode Profile is used to determine the secondary output format which is loaded from here.
You also set the Output mode from here, of which there are four options:
• Complete – Outputs the video/audio exactly as it plays to air including all iTX keyed
graphics and inserted data.
• Before Branding – Outputs the video with iTX inserted data (subtitles, AFD information
etc.) but without any keyed graphics
• Before All – Outputs the video without any iTX keyed graphics or inserted data.
• Channel Output – This can be used to record the downstream output of the channel,
but requires some special considerations as detailed below:
For more information on the IP Simulcast option, see the IP Simulcast Output User Manual.
