Grass Valley iTX System v.2.6 - Manual (Page 91)

Configuring a Media Watcher
You can add other file stores of the store type to the File Stores list, and let the Media Watcher
choose which one to use for storing registered media files – it chooses the one with the most
available free space. The name of the mapped folder for each additional file store must start
with "Media" (e.g. "Media For Today").
At any time, you may remove a file store from the File Stores list. iTX continues to hold the
details of the file store. If you want to re-add it to the list later, you can select it in the File Store
box.
Add a file store of the store type to the File Stores list
1. Click Add Store under the Media Watcher Setup tab.

• Enter a name in the Name box; click OK to close the dialog.
iTX creates a file store with the specified name. The Store Location Options dialog shows
the name in the File Store box and “Invalid UNC Accessor” (meaning there is no mapped
folder) in the Path box.

the dialog.

6. If you do not want the Media Watcher to search the store folder for missing media files
that iTX is due to play out in a schedule, select Disable Searches on this Volume.

Note: This entry is replaced by the corresponding Inbox-folder value if you select Apply to
All in the Source Folder - Inbox panel.
