You can also set additional logging to record events from Xplay’s and device’s perspectives.
Xplay’s L
OGGING settings are accessed through the T OOLS >S ETTINGS command ( page
6-30 ), while the XG’s logging settings are accessed using the Dashboard application (see
the V ERTIGO XG C ONFIGURATION G UIDE for more information).

sending Oxtel protocol commands to the main device, enable the U
SE P OSTFIX check
box and type the postfix in the S ELECTED D EVICE P OSTFIX field (figure 5-15 ).
If you want to append a prefix (i.e. UHD_) to playlist element names when sending
Oxtel protocol commands to the main device, disable the U
SE P OSTFIX check box and
type the prefix in the S ELECTED D EVICE P REFIX field.
8. Optional: Set the D EVICE F ORWARDING features, which allow you to use the Oxtel
protocol to control multiple devices (figure 5-15 ). See “Device forwarding of automation
commands” on page 5-19 for instructions.

Xplay should be restarted after any changes to the X PLAY A UTOMATION C ONFIGURATION
window’s Device to protocol mappings or protocol properties.
10. Verify that the automation configuration has been applied to the Xplay device(s).
11. Once Xplay has been restarted, the devices that have been configured for automation
should now display the automation indicator in the Device View’s toolbar. If there is
no communication between the automation system and Xplay, the automation indicator
remains grey. However, when communication between the Oxtel protocol and Xplay is
successful, the blue automation indicator is displayed in blue.
