Vertigo XG’s Desktop Applications & Tools
Xplay - Playout control application
When the Vertigo XG is started, the Xplay application automatically opens on the desktop
(figure
3-3 ). Xplay is the playout control application that the master control system or device
uses to control the playout of video and graphics on the Vertigo XG device. The master
control system/device and Xplay communicate with each other using industry standard
automation protocols.
