Duplicating a live source
The live source (usually from a satellite) is duplicated to produce two independent signals, as
shown by this diagram:
iTX uses live aliases – alternative names for the router crosspoints – to identify the live sources.
To allow it to treat the two separate signals as the same live source, the live aliases must be
identical for both sources.
For example, for the arrangement in the following diagram, the source crosspoint names are
"Satellite 1" and "Satellite 2"; the live alias for each source is "Live Feed":
Note:
• A UMD alias may be assigned to any source or destination in the iTX system. The UMD
alias, which identifies sources and destinations on iTX Desktop layouts, may be
different to the live alias for a given source.
Set up live sources
You set up live sources, and assign aliases to them, in the Live Event Configuration panel on the
Channel Plug-in Configuration Tool:
