About Channel and Live Event Routing
So that each channel is sent to the right transmission system, iTX needs to know the details
of channel sources and the matrix router crosspoints (destinations). This is known as
routing and it is configured via the Routing panel on the Channel Config pop-up layout in
the iTX Desktop.
The way each channel needs routing depends on the channel type. For example, backup
channels share the same destination as their main channel, while a simulcast needs a
different destination to their main channel.
For a live event, iTX receives a live feed from a router source and switches this into the
channel output instead of playing out a media file. The playout server is connected as a
destination on a matrix router and one or more live feeds are connected as sources. The
router sources of available live feeds are specified in assets called live events in the system
database.
Prerequisites for Channel Routing
To correctly route iTX channels, you must install the following on your framework server:
• Routing Data Service
• TXRoute service
• The router service for you model of router (e.g. HCO).
For more information on installing and configuring routing, refer to the iTX System
Administrator Guide.
About the Routing Panel
The Routing panel is located in iTX Desktop in Engineering > Channel Config > Channel
Config 3 tab. From here you can select which matrix router a channel should use, the
channel outputs, the channel destination and the default live asset.
