Channel Configuration Guide
8 Backup channels should be configured in exactly the same way as their main channel.
See Output Server 2 Channel Configuration on page 29 for more information.
Adding a Simulcast Channel to an iTX System
A simulcast channel can be created for any existing channel, providing the playout server
has a compatible SDI I/O card installed. For more information see
Playout Type Support , on
page 4.
Note: The steps below describe the process for creating a simulcast
channel on its own playout server. To add a simulcast channel to a
playout server that already has a channel configured on it, see
Adding
Extra Channels to a Playout Server , on page 26 .
To add a simulcast channel to its own playout server:
1 If is it not currently running, start TXPlay 2 Config by double-clicking on the TXPlay 2
Config icon on the Windows Desktop.
The ITX Channel Config dialog appears.
2 On the Playout Type drop-down list, select a simulcast playout type (e.g. Corvid 44,
Simulcast ).
3 In the Root Name field, enter the same channel name as the main channel.
4 Check Simulcast.
The Channel Name field now displays the contents of the Root Name field, followed by
-SIM , e.g. ITX1-SIM .
5 Check the following fields, as required:
• Integrated XG
• Use Dedicate Softel Driver
6 Click SAVE.
The iTX Channel Config window closes.
7 If you are adding a simulcast channel as part of an installation, complete the
installation as normal.
8 Simulcast channels should be configured in the same way as their main channel, with
the following differences:
• Resolution
• Aspect Ratio Control rules
• Audio output
• Event substitution
