Starting Output Server 2
As iTX services, Output Server 2, TXPlay 2, the I/O Device Controller and Media Cache 2 are
controlled by the Server Controller module, which is installed with any iTX component.
When the Server Controller is started, all of the services installed on the playout server are
started, one after another. If a service is shut down, Server Controller can restart them
automatically to protect system integrity.
Through Server Controller, Output Server 2 can be configured to control the way it starts,
the channels it runs and the way those channels are setup.
To start Server Controller:
• Go to Start > All Programs > iTX 2.0 > Server Controller.
The Server Controller appears and loads all of the installed services in their current
configuration.
