Output Server 2 Channel Configuration
Configuring Audio Output for Output Server 2
The Language, Group and Default columns are used to map each track to a channel. The
mapping is hierarchical:
1 First iTX will attempt to map the track via the selected Language.
2 If a language is not available, iTX will map using the Group.
3 If neither the Language nor the Group are available, the track will be defaulted to the
group selected in the Default column.
Configuring Audio Output for Output Server 2
IMPORTANT
• When configuring the audio output for a backup channel, the settings must mirror
its main channel.
• When configuring the audio output for a simulcast channel, the settings must meet
the requirements of the simulcast channel, not the main channel.
• When configuring the audio output for a simulcast backup channel, the settings
must mirror the simulcast channel.
To configure the audio mapping for an Output Server 2 system:
1 Open the iTX Desktop and click the Engineering layout.
2 Click Channel Config.
The Channel Config pop-up layout appears.
3 From the View list, select the view containing the channels to be configured. The
channels associated with that view appear.
4 Click the name of the channel to be configured.
5 Click the Channel Config 4 tab.
6 In the Audio Mapping section there will be a default output track, with the following
settings:
• Audio Type column set to DolbyD.
• Language column with no value (blank).
• Group column set to Unset.
• Default column set to 0 .
These settings should be changed to match the tracks in your audio input.
7 On the first track, click the Audio Type drop-down list and select the required type (e.g.
Dolby D 5.1 )
When selecting an Audio Type, consider the following:
• PCM (Auto) will assign 16 channels to the track, even if not all of the channels are
required. Any unused channels will be automatically set to mute.
• Dolby D (Auto) is the same as Dolby D 5.1 .
