the Duration value of an XG event does not change the page asset’s default Duration
value, and vice versa.
4 Set the Trigger or Duration mode, which represents the default method by which the
graphics page will be cleared when it is part of an XG event.
• Trigger: The XG event will remain on air until another page replaces it or it is
cleared in another manner (e.g. cleared using Xplay).
• Duration: The XG event will be cleared when its duration expires.
These modes are a property of the XG event in iTX, not the page asset itself in the
Xmedia Server. Their settings are saved to the page element added to the VertigoXG
Palette, but they are not saved as part of the page asset on the Xmedia Server.
When creating a new page, specify the default setting that will be used as the initial
value when the page is added as an XG event. After the page reference has been added
to the VertigoXG Palette, you can edit the default value by opening and editing these
fields in the VertigoXG Viewer and then clicking the Save Page button. When the page
is added to an XG event, the default value is used, but you can change it using the
Event Editor.
5 In the Keyer setting, specify the default keyer that the page will playout on.
This value is used when the page is added to the VertigoXG Palette, as well as when
adding an XG event in the schedule/timeline.
Note that this field is a property of the XG event, not the page asset itself. As such, the
setting is saved to the page reference added to the VertigoXG Palette, but it is not
saved as part of the page asset on the Xmedia Server.
When creating a new page, specify the default keyer setting that will be used as the
initial value when the page is added as an XG event. After the page has been added to
the VertigoXG Palette, you can edit the default value by opening and editing the page
in the VertigoXG Viewer and then clicking the Save Page button. When the page is
added to an XG event, the default value is used, but you can change it using the Event
Editor.
6 Click the Save Page button.
The Save Page button creates the new page, saves the page to the Xmedia Server and
adds a reference to the page element on the VertigoXG Palette’s Selection pane.
• Page name: The new page is automatically given a unique name, which consists of
the template’s AutoName property (which defaults to the template’s name) with a
timestamp appended. You cannot rename the page using the VertigoXG Viewer.
• Pages Category: The VertigoXG Viewer looks for a category under the Pages root
category that has the same name as the category under the Templates root
category from which the template originated. If such a category is found, then the
Page is saved there. Otherwise, the page is saved in the Pages root category.
• Selection Pane listing: A reference to the page is added to the VertigoXG Palette’s
Selection pane using the page’s name. The pages are listed in the Selection pane in
alphabetical order. In addition to the page’s name, the page’s default keyer value is
also listed.
Note: If the duration is set to 00:00:00, iTX imposes a default duration of 5
seconds when the page is added to a schedule as an XG event.
