Configuration Procedures
7. Ensure that the Vertigo XG device is actively connected to Xplay.
As shown above, when Xplay is connected to the device, the LED is green. If Xplay is
disconnected from the device, then the LED is red.
To reconnect Xplay to the Vertigo XG device, simply double-click the red LED. If the
connection isn’t immediately established, verify that the device is powered up and that
the network is operating normally.
8. All of the keyers should be turned on, which is indicated by the background of the
keyer’s Device name being pink. If the background is grey, then the keyer is turned off.
To turn the keyer on, right-click on the keyer’s Device name and select the Turn Keyer
On command.
Configuring Xplay to use automation to control the Vertigo XG
TXPlay controls the channel’s schedule playout. So when TXPlay encounters an XG event
(graphics event) in the schedule, it communicates with the Vertigo XG device’s Xplay using
the Oxtel automation protocol to instruct Xplay to cue and take the page or scene. To ensure
proper communication between TXPlay and Xplay, you must set Xplay’s Automation
settings and configure Xplay to use the Oxtel protocol over TCP/IP.
To configure Xplay’s Automation settings:
1.
Select the T OOLS >S ETTINGS >X PLAY >A UTOMATION to display Xplay’s Automation settings.
2. Enable the A UTOMATION (N O M ESSAGE BOXES ) setting, which overrides the behavior of the
four settings below it and prevents message boxes from appearing during Xplay operations.
3. Leave the D EADBAND setting set to its default value.
