Configuring services on the Output Server machine after installation
Installation of the Output Server module creates a playout channel with a default set of
properties. You should check these properties on the Channel Configuration pop-up layout at
an iTX Desktop workstation; you may need to change them to suit your broadcasting
requirements.
In particular, you may want to specify a standby slide and a breakdown slide – still images that
iTX is to display when there is no schedule running in the channel, or if there is an unplanned
interruption to a schedule.

Install a Desktop Client module
You need to install the Desktop Client module on any machine that is allocated for system
administration and on all operator workstations.
By setting the security privileges through the iTX Security Tool, you can control the amount of
functionality available at each iTX Desktop. On a system-administrator workstation, you should
be able to make changes to the set-up of the iTX system. On an operator workstation, it should
be possible for an operator to perform the required operational tasks.
