2-2 Xplay User Manual
Getting started with Xplay
Installation and licensing information
When playout is to be controlled manually by an operator, Xplay is typically installed and
configured on a client computer that is connected via a local-area network to the playout
devices. However, when the playout is to be controlled by an external automation system,
Xplay is installed and configured directly on the Vertigo playout device (i.e. Vertigo XG or
Intuition XG).
Regardless of where it is installed, Xplay is packaged with the Vertigo Suite software
installation wizard. It can be installed as part of the full installation or as an individual
(standalone) component. In both cases, you simply need to run the installation wizard on a
workstation that is on the same network as the Xmedia Server.
Information regarding the Vertigo Suite’s hardware and network requirements, as well as
instructions for installing and/or upgrading Xplay, are available in the Vertigo Suite’s
Release Notes, which can be downloaded from the Support Portal web site
.

Unlike most other Vertigo Suite applications, Xplay does not require a software application
license.
