Installing and Configuring XG Inside
Installing ITXG Xmedia Suite Install on an iTX Output Server
Installing ITXG Xmedia Suite Install on an iTX Output Server
The Vertigo Suite Installer’s ITXG Xmedia Suite Install software preset contains the
XG Renderer and its associated components and must be added to the iTX Output Server.
To add the ITXG Xmedia Suite Install component to an iTX Output Server:
1 Ensure the iTX Server Controller is not running.
2 Acquire and run the latest version of the Vertigo Suite Installer.
3 When the installation wizard requests you to select components, select the ITXG
Xmedia Suite Install preset configuration.
4 Follow the on screen instructions and install all dependencies.
5 Restart the iTX Output Server machine when the wizard prompts you to.
The wizard takes a few minutes to complete the installation after the (final) restart.
Establishing a connection between TX Play and Xplay
TX Play controls the channel’s schedule playout. So when TX Play encounters an XG event
(graphics event) in the schedule, it communicates with Vertigo’s Xplay using the Oxtel
protocol to instruct Xplay to cue and take the page.
To establish a connection between TX Play and Xplay:
1 Open the iTX Channel Config dialog box by double-clicking the TX Play Config or TX
Play 2 Config desktop icon.
2 Enable the Integrated XG setting.
3 Click Save.
Adding an XG Inside device to the Xmedia Server’s Device Manager
For the Xmedia Server to publish assets to the Embedded Xmedia Server (EXMS) on the iTX
Output Server, you must add an XG Inside device configuration profile to the Xmedia
Server’s Device Manager.
To add the XG Inside device to the Xmedia Server’s Device Manager:
1 Open Xstudio on a client machine and ensure that it is connected to the Xmedia Server.
2 Select the Tools>Device Manager menu command.
The Device Manager window (Device Configuration) opens.
3 Select the Add button in the lower-left corner.
The Device Configuration section (lower portion) immediately changes to become the
Add Device Information section.
4 Complete the fields to create a device configuration profile for the XG Inside device.
• Provide a Name, Alias and Description for the device (e.g. XGInside)
Note: The ITXG Xmedia Suite Install software component is factory-
installed on all iTX Playout Appliance - Single channel devices and
Playout Appliance 2 devices. If you are adding and configuring the XG
Inside option on an iTX Playout Appliance unit, do not reinstall it. Proceed
to the next task in this configuration procedure.
