The Vertigo Suite Installer’s ITXG Xmedia Suite Install software preset contains the
XG Renderer and its associated components, which must be added to the iTX Output
Server or iTX Playout Appliance - Single channel.

The ITXG Xmedia Suite Install software component is factory-installed on all iTX Playout
Appliance - Single channel 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.
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 (v.4.8 or later).
3. When the installation wizard requests you to select components, select the ITXG
X
MEDIA S UITE I NSTALL preset configuration.
This preset will automatically install the following components on the Playout Server:
Xplay, Software CG, Vertigo ITXG, XpublishAgent, Dataserver, Clip Playback and
Encoding (codecs) and Xmedia Server (EXMS).
4. Follow the wizard instructions and respond to the prompts to install all dependencies.
The wizard may prompt you to restart the machine to continue the installation (e.g.
when an SQL database is created) and to complete the installation.
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.
The installer pre-configures most of the XG Inside components with the required settings.
