Configuration Procedures
External Vertigo XG and iTX configuration procedure
The following procedure provides instructions for installing and configuring the software
components required to integrate iTX as an automation system driving the downstream
Vertigo XG device. The Vertigo XG device’s components must be configured to receive the
program stream from the iTX Output Server and apply branding graphics as dictated by the
iTX schedule before brought on air.
As the system diagram on
demonstrates, the iTX system and Vertigo system are
setup and configured as they always are for a typical playout channel. As such, we
recommend that you consult the iTX System Administrator Guide and the Vertigo Suite
documentation for system installation and setup procedures.
