iTX Output Server 2
Channel Configuration Guide
The Routing panel consists of the following fields:
Field Description
Matrix Use this field to select the matrix router (or Router Bridge) from the list
of available routers. This field is required for all routing configurations.
Channel Destination Use this field to select the router destination to which the transmission
system receiving the channel output is connected.
iTX requires this entry if the channel is part of a main/backup setup.
Any channel that is routed to this destination is, by definition, the
leader channel.
Channel Output Use this field to select router source name of the playout server that
the channel is running on.
iTX requires this entry if the channel is part of a main/backup setup.
Channel Output 2 Use this field to select any router source you want to monitor. iTX can
route this source to a monitor when the channel is selected on the
Channel Control layout. This option is useful for monitoring the live
video signal for a pass-through channel that is being fed into an
playout server.
Default Live Asset Where a fixed or hardwired router source is used for a number of
different live assets that are unknown to iTX, a default live asset can be
substituted in each case without changing the unique names of the
original live assets. Use this field to select the name of the default live
asset:
Note: You also need to clear the Matrix and Destination boxes on the
Live Event Configuration panel if they are populated. See Routing
Live Events to Destinations for Simulcast Setups on page 48.
