About the Router Event palette
Your iTX system may be set up to operate a matrix router in response to requests contained in
router events. If it is, you may use the Router Event palette to add router events to a schedule.
A router can have any number of crosspoints – i.e. sources and destinations. In a router event,
iTX connects a selected source to a selected destination.
At the end of the router event, depending on how it is configured, iTX may do one of three
things: it may route the original source back to the destination; it may route another specified
source (known as a park source) to the destination; or it may leave the routing unchanged.
A typical router event might involve iTX routing a video source – other than the channel output
– to the router destination that feeds the transmission system. We call this type of router event
a by-pass event.
In the Router Event palette, you configure a router event by selecting the router, destination
and source for a router event. Once you do this, you can set a duration for the event before
adding the event to the schedule.
Adding a router event to a schedule
When adding a router event to a schedule, you may make it either a primary event or a
secondary event.
