XG Inside configuration procedures
XG Inside is an option for iTX Output Servers and iTX Playout Appliances that enhances
the branding capabilities of an iTX playout channel by integrating the XG Renderer software
directly within the iTX playout device.
As the system diagram on page 1-2 demonstrates, the integration of XG graphics rendering
into an iTX system requires adding and configuring new software and hardware
components to the system.
The following procedure provides instructions for installing and configuring the software
components required for using the XG Inside option on an iTX Output Server or iTX Playout
Appliance - Single channel:
Step # Task
1 Install the “ITXG Xmedia Suite Install” software component on the iTX
Output Server.
See “Installing ITXG Xmedia Suite Install on an iTX Output Server” on page
2-3 for complete instructions.
*** 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. ***
2 Establish the connection between TXPlay and Xplay.
See “Establishing a connection between TXPlay and Xplay” on page 2-5 for
