VertigoXG Plugin: Adding XG Events to a Schedule
To substitute an image, cel animation or clip element on a template, right-click on the
element. A browser for that asset type appears and displays the assets on the Xmedia
Server that can be used as substitutes. Select a new asset and click OK to add it to the
template.
3. In the Duration field, specify the page’s default duration. The Duration setting in the
VertigoXG Viewer is a property of the page and is therefore saved to the Xmedia Server
with the page.
When the page is first added to an XG event, the page’s default duration value is used
to set the initial duration for an XG event. The XG event’s duration value can then be
edited independently of the page’s default Duration value. In other words, changing the
Duration value of an XG event does not change the page asset’s default Duration
value, and vice versa.

OTE
If the duration is set to 00:00:00, iTX imposes a default duration of 5 seconds when the page
is added to a schedule as an XG event.
4. Set the Trigger or Duration mode, which represents the default method by which the
graphics page will be cleared when it is part of an XG event.
• T
RIGGER : The XG event will remain on air until another page replaces it or it
is cleared in another manner (e.g. cleared using Xplay).
• D URATION : The XG event will be cleared when its duration expires.
These modes are a property of the XG event in iTX, not the page asset itself in the
Xmedia Server. As such, their settings are saved to the page element added to the
VertigoXG Palette, but they are not saved as part of the page asset on the Xmedia
Server.
When creating a new page, specify the default setting that will be used as the initial
value when the page is added as an XG event. After the page reference has been
added to the VertigoXG Palette, you can edit the default value by opening and editing
these fields in the VertigoXG Viewer and then clicking the S
AVE P AGE button. When the
page is added to an XG event, the default value is used, but you can change it using
the Event Editor.
5. In the K EYER setting, specify the default keyer that the page will playout on. This value
is used when the page is added to the VertigoXG Palette, as well as when adding an
XG event in the schedule/timeline.
Note that this field is a property of the XG event, not the page asset itself. As such, the
setting is saved to the page reference added to the VertigoXG Palette, but it is not
saved as part of the page asset on the Xmedia Server.
When creating a new page, specify the default keyer setting that will be used as the
initial value when the page is added as an XG event. After the page has been added
to the VertigoXG Palette, you can edit the default value by opening and editing the page
in the VertigoXG Viewer and then clicking the S
AVE P AGE button. When the page is
added to an XG event, the default value is used, but you can change it using the Event
Editor.
