Introduction
iTX Master Control events
iTX-MC introduces two new types of events that can be added to an iTX schedule:
•
Master control primary events
• Master control secondary events
Figure 1-2. Example of a master control primary and secondary event in an iTX schedule
Master control primary events
Master control primary events are main video items added to an iTX schedule to enable the
iTX automation system to switch to and playout live content from any of the live video
sources available to the Imagestore 750 from the upstream router.
When adding a master control primary event, you must specify the precise live source to be
played out, the starting transition type and speed and the duration of the live event.
A master control primary event appears as primary event item in the iTX schedule grid and
is displayed as a block on the PGM track of the channel’s timeline.
See “Adding a master control primary event to a schedule” on page 3-2 for more
information.
Master control secondary events
Master control secondary events represent logos, voice-overs or Macro recalls that are
native to the Imagestore 750.
Master control secondary events can be associated with any type primary event in the
schedule. However, since live video content from master control primary events is routed
directly to the Imagestore 750, it does not pass through the iTX Output Server where
traditional iTX logo and voice-over insertion events are normally applied. As such, master
control secondary events allow for logo and voice-over insertion using the Imagestore 750.
See “Adding a master control secondary event to a schedule” on page 3-4 for more
information.
