Grass Valley Vertigo XG Integration v.2.6 - Manual (Page 32)

26
Using the Vertigo XG Plugin
Adding XG Events to an iTX schedule
value, so that when you open the scene from the Selection pane or add the page to a
new XG event, the new default Keyer value is used.
7 Optional: Edit the default Trigger or Duration mode settings.
Changes to a scene’s default Trigger or Duration mode settings are not saved with the
scene asset on the Xmedia Server when you click Save Page.
8 Click the Save Page button.
A new scene asset is created, saved on the Xmedia Server and added to the Selection
pane. The new asset is given a unique name, which consists of the name of the original
scene with the date and time appended. If the original scene already had a date and
time in its name, the date and time will be replaced.
Adding XG Events to an iTX schedule
XG events are secondary events in a schedule that allow Vertigo graphics pages and scenes
to be played out on a specified keyer layer.
You can add XG events to the iTX channel’s schedule by either adding a page or scene to
the Schedule Grid or to the Timeline.
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.
Adding an XG Event to the Schedule Grid
Once pages (Vertigo page and/or scene assets) are listed in the Vertigo XG palette, you can
drag a page/scene from the Selection pane directly onto a primary event on the channel’s
Schedule Grid. This adds the page/scene as a secondary event of type XG. The page/scene’s
default duration value and default keyer value are used for the event’s Duration and Keyer
settings, but they can be edited directly in the Schedule Grid or using the Event Editor (see
page 27 ).
Adding an XG Event to the Timeline
In order to add a page/scene to the timeline, the timeline grid must be configured to
display the XG keyer tracks. Selecting the Select Tracks button above the iTX Desktop’s
timeline allows you to select and display the XG Keyer tracks in the timeline.
Note: Changing the default Keyer value does not affect the current Keyer
value of XG events already listed in the ITX schedule.
Note: Changing the default Trigger or Duration mode settings does not
affect the current XG events already listed in the ITX schedule.
Note: After the new scene has been added to the Selection pane, the scene
remains open in the VertigoXG Viewer. Any edits that are made to the scene
while it’s open in the VertigoXG Viewer will apply to the scene that was just
added to the Selection pane. When the Save Page button is clicked the
changes will be saved to the current scene without creating a new scene.
