Installing iTX software modules
•
Select Edit Channel if you want the installer to create an edit channel; the installer
automatically enters a name for the channel. This option is selected by default.
•
Select Live Channel if you want the installer to create a live channel; the installer
automatically enters a name for the channel. You should only select this option if there
is a requirement for the ability to play out schedule events by using the Live Control on
an iTX Desktop layout.
•
Select Live Record to File if you want iTX to record selected live feeds as files when it
plays them out. If you select this option, you need to specify file properties by setting an
encode profile.
•
Select the IntegratedXG option if the output server is an iTXG output server with Grass
Valley Vertigo graphics software on board.
•
If the output server machine is an iTX Appliance Server, it is capable of running two
channels (if fitted with two Xena video cards). If you wish to add a second playout
channel, click Add Extra Channel. This will open the Add Extra Channel dialog box:
•
Type the name of the second channel in the dialog box and click OK.
•
The installer then returns you to the Channel Config Dialog. You can then select each
channel In the Unmodified Name drop down selector and configure them individually,
using the same steps detailed above. When both channels are configured, click Save.
Note:
•
The device number dialog is automatically incremented when a second channel is added.
This refers to which Xena card within the iTX Appliance server will be used for this
particular channel.
•
You can also use this dialog to delete a channel from the server if you no longer require
it. Select the channel you wish to delete from the Unmodified Name dialog and click
Delete Channel.
•
When you have finished configuring your channel or channels, click Save and the iTX
Channel Config setup will close.
The installer creates a configuration file, containing the details you enter, in an application-
data folder under the logged-on username. It configures the Server Controller on the
Output Server machine to run the various channel services.
This completes the installation of the Output Server module.
On successful installation of the Output Server module, folders for the installed components
appear in the Program Files\iTX 2.0\Services folder. The installed services are:
•
TXPlay
•
TXEdit (optional)
•
The Output Server
•
The iTX Player
•
The Media Cache Service
