Layout name Description
Channel Control
(Wide)
Similar to the standard Channel Control layout but with a wider
Schedule Grid. The Content Selector and Event Editor are available on
pop-up layouts.
Multi-Channel
Control
For the control of playout in multiple channels. A Timeline Display
shows schedule activity in all the channels in a selected view. You can
control playout on any selected channel in this view. There are no
schedule-editing features.
Multi-Channel
Display
For monitoring playout in multiple channels. A Timeline Display shows
schedule activity in all the channels in a selected view.
Multi-Channel
Monitor
For monitoring playout in multiple channels. The layout includes the
ability to route the output from selected channels to video monitors. A
Timeline Display shows schedule activity in all the channels in a
selected view. Three Schedule Grids give schedule details for selected
channels.
Gang Control Similar to the Multi-Channel Control layout, but giving simultaneous
control of playout in all channels in a selected view (rather than any
individual channel).
Item Insertion For the control of playout in a selected channel with the ability to
insert a news-flash sequence, which you can select from an edit
channel.
Live Channel
Bypass
For creating, editing and controlling schedules in two parallel channels
running on the same Output Server machine: the main playout
channel and an associated live channel.
iTX runs different schedules independently in both channels; but only
one plays out the events that provide the channel output. You select
which channel this is by using the Live Channel Management panel on
the layout.
The live channel needs to be set up in your system before you can use
this layout.
Channel Edit For editing a schedule in any channel in a selected channel view. There
are no event-control features (Next Event Control Panel).
Channel View For viewing schedule activity in any channel in a selected channel
view. There are no schedule-editing or event-control features.
Channel Group
Control
Similar to the Gang Control layout, for simultaneous control of playout
in all channels in a selected view. It includes a Schedule Grid and
Global Editor, which you can use to make repeat changes to schedules
in selected channels in a channel view.
Preview Channel For previewing schedule events on a video monitor before iTX plays
them out.
