Creating and loading a station configuration
Adding a channel to the station configuration
The station configuration defines a set of channels, which identify the devices that make up
the transmission path of a playout channel. A channel can consist of a single device or
multiple devices that work together (i.e. an Imagestore device as the down-stream keyer for
an Intuition XG device).
Each station configuration must contain at least one channel. The following procedure
explains how to add a channel to the station configuration, as well as how to associate
devices with the channel.
Figure 3-2. A typical channel setup in a station configuration
To create a new channel in Xpanel’s Station Manager:
1.
Launch Xpanel’s Station Manager by selecting the V IEW >S TATION M ANAGER menu
command.
2. Create a new station configuration (see page 3-4 ) or click the O PEN S TATION button
in the Station Manager’s toolbar to open an existing station configuration.
3. Right-click in the channel configurator section of the Station Manager and select the
A
DD C HANNEL command.
A new channel row is immediately added to the channel configurator.
The following table defines a channel’s default columns:
Column name Description
ID An ID number associated with the channel that determines its order
in the Station Manager’s channel configurator. You can edit the ID
number by selecting the cell and typing a new number. When you
click away or press Enter, the channel is automatically sorted in the
Station Manager according to the ID number. Note that each
channel’s ID number must be unique.
Channel The channel’s name. You can rename the channel by clicking in the
C
HANNEL cell and typing a new name, or by right-clicking on the
channel and selecting the R ENAME CHANNEL command.
