Setting the regional channel for a regional event
About regional channels
Your iTX system may include main and regional playout channels: the main channel provides
the program output for most of the time; at other times, the regional channels play out their
own media content.
For example, a national television station may broadcast the same programs to a number of
regions. At certain times, the regional channels disconnect from the national channel to show
programs of local interest. They re-connect to the national channel when the local programs
finish.
Each regional channel runs on its own Output Server, which is controlled from the main
channel; the regional channels are sub-channels of the main channel. Each regional channel has
the same name as the main channel followed by #n, where n is the number (1 to 8) of the
regional channel. For example, iTX1#4 is regional channel 4 of the main channel iTX1.
You use the regional-channel selection buttons, at the top of the Event Editor, to set the
regional channel to play out a selected schedule event. The regional event is scheduled as a
secondary event with a Start + time mode; its primary event plays out on the main playout
channel. An event plays out in the main channel when M is selected.
In the Schedule Grid, the regional event is a secondary event:
Unless you select a regional channel to play out a schedule event, the event plays out through
the main channel.
