Updating Aspect Ratio information database location
Note:
• The following section is only applicable to customers who are upgrading from iTX
v2.4.9 or earlier to 2.4.10 or later for the first time and who use Aspect Ratio
information contained within the clip assets.
As of iTX v2.4.10, when new assets are imported or ingested into the system, their Aspect Ratio
information is written to a different location in the iTX database. The asset clip information for
any media registered prior to iTX v2.4.10 must be transferred to the new location using a utility
called Clip Fixer, which is included in the iTX Installer.
Installing Clip Fixer
Clip Fixer can be installed and run on any computer that already has iTX Desktop installed.
To install the Clip Fixer application:
1. Run the iTX Installer and click SELECT SOFTWARE.
2. Scroll down to Utilities and expand the options tree.
3. Check the box marked Clip Fixer.
4. Click OK.
5. Complete the installation as normal.
Setting the media format with Clip Fixer
You can set the media format to either 16x9 or 4x3, as such, if you have media in both formats
you must run the operation twice for each type of clip.
To set the media format to either 16x9 or 4x3 with Clip Fixer:
1. Go to Start > All Programs > iTX2.0 > Clip Fixer to run the application.
2. From the left-hand column, check either the Source Format 16x9 or Source Format
4x3.
