Overview of iTX-MC System Configuration
For the most part, the iTX automation system must be installed and configured for normal
channel control and playout. Similarly, the Imagestore 750 and iMC panel are configured for
normal master control usage.
With that in mind, this document does not repeat general iTX, Imagestore or iMC system
installation and configuration procedures. Instead the following table summarizes the
installation and configuration of iTX-MC specific components that are required to use iTX-
MC in normal operating conditions. Further sections in this chapter provide instructions for
performing iTX-MC specific installation and configuration tasks.
