Grass Valley iTX System v.2.6 - Manual (Page 53)

Installing iTX software modules
The installed services are:
• The Server Controller
• The System Service
• The Logging Service
• The Time Service
• The OPUS 2 Service
• The As Run Logging Service
• The Routing Data Service
• The Locator Service
• The iTX Software Updater
If it is included in the installation:
• The Media Watcher
Install the Media Watcher on a stand-alone Media Store, or other
machine
There must be at least one Media Watcher in an iTX system, to monitor the Inbox on an iTX
Media Store. This Media Watcher registers the media files, and other valid files, that are placed
in the Inbox; it rejects files that iTX cannot use.
In certain circumstances, it may also be used by a Media Cache Service to copy files so that they
are available for playout. More details , page 260.
There may be other Media Watchers in a system, doing the same jobs for different Media
Stores and Output Servers.
You should install the only or main Media Watcher on the machine that is to be the main Media
Store; this may be the Database Server machine or, more likely, a stand-alone Media Store. If it
is not possible to run the Media Watcher on a stand-alone Media Store, you may install it on
the Database Server machine.
Perform the following procedure to install the Media Watcher and iTX Desktop layouts on a
stand-alone Media Store or other machine.
Note: If you want to install the Media Watcher on the Database Server machine, do this at the
same time as you install the Database Server module. See "Install the Database Server module",
page 48.
