Vertigo XG Plugin overview
The VertigoXG plugin adds the VertigoXG palette to the Content Selector on the iTX
Channel Control layout. The palette features two buttons (Add Page and Remove Page)
and a selection pane.

Clicking the Add Page button on the VertigoXG Palette opens the VertigoXG Viewer, which
has two views: Browse and Edit.
• Browse view allows you to browse and/or search for templates, pages and/or scenes
that currently exist on a specified Xmedia Server. See Browsing or searching for
templates, pages or scenes on an Xmedia Server , on page 19 for more information.
• Edit view allows you to create a new page based on a template or open an existing
page or scene for editing. You can then save the page or edited scene to the Xmedia
Server and add the page/scene to the VertigoXG Palette’s selection pane so that it can
be added to the iTX schedule as an XG graphics event.
Connecting the VertigoXG Viewer to the Xmedia Server
The first time the VertigoXG Viewer is opened, you must set the IP address of the Xmedia
Server in the Hostname/IP field of the Settings window. This allows the VertigoXG Viewer
to access the templates, pages and scenes of a particular Xmedia Server device, as well as
save new pages and scenes to the Xmedia Server.
Note: The VertigoXG Palette uses the term “Page” for both Vertigo pages
and scenes. For example, the Selection pane lists both pages and scenes, but
the column heading is
Page Name .
