Installing iTX software modules
Install an Output Server module
iTX offers two versions of the Output Server module. Output Server 1 (OS1) and Output Server
2 (OS2).
Introduced in iTX v2.5, Output Server 2 is Grass Valley’s next generation iTX video engine and
while it supersedes the previous video engine, Output Server 1 is still supported. Although you
cannot run Output Server 1 and Output Server 2 on the same playout server, due to the AJA SDI
I/O card driver requirements of each, it is possible to run both video engines within the same
iTX System on different playout servers.
Note:
•
The steps below outline the process of installing Output Server 1. For information on
Output Server 2 refer to the Output Server 2 Channel Configuration Guide.
Whether you are using Output Server 1 or Output Server 2, you install an Output Server module
on each machine that is to provide a playout channel. The module is suitable for either
standard-definition (SD) or high-definition (HD) output; you configure the channel resolution
after installing the service.
You also install an Output Server module on each machine that is to render the content of a
schedule as media for on-demand video.
Services in the Output Server modules need authentication from a License dongle before they
can run.
For information on migrating between Output Server 1 and Output Server 2 see the Output
Server 2 Channel Configuration Guide.
