Vertigo XG’s Desktop Applications & Tools
XPublish Agent Control Panel
Assets are moved from the central Xmedia Server to the Vertigo XG device in a process
referred to as publishing. The XPublish Agent (XPA) is a special service on the Vertigo XG
device, which is responsible for receiving and processing the publish requests and making
the media available to the Vertigo XG.
To open the XPublish Agent Control Panel window, open Windows Explorer (see page
3-12 ) and navigate to C ONTROL P ANEL >V ERTIGO X MEDIA XP UBLISH A GENT .
The XPA service’s B ASE P ATH setting controls where media is stored on the recipient
Vertigo XG device. Figure 3-13 demonstrates that the B ASE P ATH setting must match the
P UBLISH P ATH setting on the XG Dashboard, which determines where the Vertigo XG
rendering engine expects to find the assets on the central Xmedia Server. The default
directory for Vertigo XG devices is F:\Scene, on both the XPublish Agent and Dashboard.
It is recommended that you verify that these settings match.
