The Content Selector
Content Selector palettes
The Content Selector organizes assets and other items that can feature in schedule events on
palettes. It has a separate palette for each type of asset and schedule item. Depending on what
software plug-in licenses you have for your iTX system, the Content Selector may include any of
the following palettes.
Palettes for assets
• Video Clip
• Logo
• CG
• Subtitle
• Stills

Palettes for schedule items managed by other Grass Valley equipment

Comments palette
There is an extra palette that enables you to insert comment lines in a schedule, to provide
information (comment lines are not schedule events):
• Comment
The Content Selector displays one palette at a time. When you want to work with a particular
type of asset or schedule item, you select the palette for that type by clicking a palette
selection button.
Each palette has a selection pane in which it displays a shortlist of available assets or schedule
items; some palettes display a list of names; others, thumbnail images of graphic items (e.g.
CGs). When an asset or other item is in a selection pane, you may include it in events in the
current schedule.
If you are controlling multiple playout channels on your iTX Desktop, the contents of a selection
pane vary according to what channel you select through the Channel Selector.
Note:
• We do not cover the use of the iTX Render and VertigoXG palettes in this section.
Complete information for these is instead given in separate documentation, available from
Grass Valley.
