Honoring NTSC SD Field Orders
In an Output Server 1 system, the field order for NTSC SD assets often had to be reversed on
a per-asset basis for video to playout as expected. This was done by checking the Reverse
Field Order checkbox on
the Asset tab of the Asset layout in iTX Desktop. Output Server 2 is
able to interpret the field order from the media itself. As such, Output Server 2 defaults to
ignoring the Reverse Field Order checkbox and plays out the asset as the media dictates.
If you are operating a mixed Output Server system, you may not want Output Server 2
playout servers to ignore assets with reversed field orders. This can be controlled using a
global configuration called OS2 Ignore “Reverse Field Order”. If this option is set
incorrectly for you system, your NTSC SD assets it may play out incorrectly (juddering or
shaking).
To configure OS2 to honor Reverse Field Order:
1 On a playout server that is running Output Server 2, start the iTX Desktop client.
2 Log in with a system administrator profile.
3 Open the Engineering layout.
4 Click Channel Config.
