Configuration Procedures
Installing and configuring the VertigoXG Desktop plugin
The VertigoXG plugin is an iTX channel plugin that allows the scheduling of secondary
graphics events that will be inserted into the iTX Programme stream by the XG Inside option
installed on an iTX Playout Server.
This plugin adds the VertigoXG palette to the Content Selector on the Channel Control
layout, which lets you create graphics pages based on Vertigo templates and then add the
pages and/or scenes to the schedule or timeline. See
for more information.
To operate, the VertigoXG plugin requires that an iTX Integrated XG license be installed
on the iTX Framework Server.
