Output Server 2 Channel Configuration
Once Output Server 2 has been installed and you have defined your channels, each channel
must be configured to your specific requirements. This includes the channel configuration
that needs to be done from within both the Output Server 2 user interface and iTX Desktop.
Note:
• Automatic Loudness Control (ALC) is not supported in iTX v2.6. This field
should be set to Off (the default setting).

Setting a Reference, Frame Rate Family and Output Timing
Before configuring Output Server 2, you should confirm your I/O Device Controller is using
the correct reference. If you have an external reference connected to your SDI I/O card, the
I/O Device Controller will automatically detect the input and set the frame rate family
accordingly. If you do not have an external reference, you will need to set the reference to
Freerun , select a frame rate family and enter output timing control manually, otherwise
the Output Server 2 service will start up in an error state.
