Setting up XG Inside for single channel playout
The following procedure identifies the tasks for installing and configuring the software
components required for using the XG Inside option on a single channel iTX Output Server
or iTX Playout Appliance.
To install and configure XG Inside for a single iTX playout channel:
1 Install the ITXG Xmedia Suite Install software component on the iTX Output Server
( page 8 ).
2 Establish the connection between TX Play and Xplay ( page 8 ).
3 Add the XG Inside device to the Xmedia Server’s Vertigo Device Manager ( page 8 ).
4 Enable auto-publishing on the Xmedia Server’s Templates, Pages and/or Scenes asset
categories ( page 9 ).
5 Install and configure the Vertigo ITX Desktop plugin on the client machine hosting the
iTX Desktop application ( page 10 ).
Note: The scope of this chapter does not include hardware installation,
cabling and other system-level installation and configuration information
and instructions. We recommend that you consult the Vertigo XG, Xmedia
Server and iTX system installation and configuration documentation before
attempting to configure your system for the integration of XG branding
within an iTX system.
IMPORTANT
This task should only be performed on iTX Output Servers. Proceed to the
next task if you are configuring XG Inside on a iTX Playout Appliance since
the software component is factory-installed on iTX Playout Appliances.
