Processing Node application , on page 69).
iTX Asset XML
GV STRATUS Playout Gateway includes limited support for importing asset metadata via
the import version of the iTX Asset XML schema. When an Asset XML file is placed in the
watch folder, the asset metadata is imported and registered as an asset in the GV STRATUS
Playout service. For more information on import Asset XML, please refer to the iTX
documentation set.
The following Asset XML fields are supported:
• AssetType (only Video, Audio, Graphic, and Logo types are supported)
• Name
• Title
• FrameRate (all are supported)
• InPoint (TimeFormat can be Frames, Miliseconds, Ticks, or Timecode)
• Duration (TimeFormat can be Frames, Miliseconds, Ticks, or Timecode)
• Uid (stored as an external reference in the registered asset)
• MediaLocations: LocationType (only iTX and Proxy are supported) and MediaPaths
iTX XML schedules
GV STRATUS Playout Gateway also supports iTX XML schedules. When an iTXML schedule
(.xml or .itxml) is placed in the watch folder, it is automatically imported, converted into a
GV STRATUS Playout schedule, and named according to the schedule name in the iTXML
file (not the file name itself ). If a schedule with the same name already exists, the existing
schedule is overwritten with the imported schedule. For more information on iTX XML
schedules, please refer to the iTX documentation set.
The following iTX event types are supported:
• TXMediaEvent: converts to a Clip primary event
• TXLiveEvent: converts to a Live primary event supplied via the SDI A port on the
associated device
• TXCommentEvent: converts to a Comment event
• TXAudioEvent: converts to an Audio Clip secondary event
• TXGraphicEvent: converts to a Graphic secondary event
• TXLogoEvent: converts to a Logo secondary event
• TXVANCEvent: converts to a VANC secondary event
