Adding a Simulcast Backup Channel to an iTX System
If you have a backup channel for your main channel, as well as a simulcast channel, it is
recommended that you also add channel that is a backup of the simulcast channel.
Note: The steps below describe the process for creating a simulcast
backup channel on its own playout server. To add a simulcast backup
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 backup 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 Backup.
The Channel Name field now displays the contents of the Root Name field, followed by
-BACKUP , e.g. ITX1-BACKUP .
5 Check Simulcast.
The Channel Name field now displays the contents of the Root Name field, followed by
-BACKUP-SIM , e.g. ITX1-BACKUP-SIM .
6 Check the following fields, as required:
• Integrated XG
• Use Dedicate Softel Driver
7 Click SAVE. The iTX Channel Config window closes.
8 If you are adding a simulcast backup channel as part of an installation, complete the
installation as normal.
9 Simulcast backup channels should be configured in exactly the same way as the
simulcast channel. See Output Server 2 Channel Configuration on page 29 for more
information.
Adding Extra Channels to a Playout Server
If are going to operate multiple channels from a single playout server (i.e. a simulcast
channel on the same playout server as the main channel), the extra channel can be added
to your iTX system from the iTX Channel Config dialog in TXPlay 2 Config.
To add an extra channel to a single 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 From the Playout Type drop-down list, select one of the following types:
• Corvid 44, Simulcast
