Xplay’s Automation settings
Xplay has a series of settings that define its behavior and functionality. Among these
settings are a series of A
UTOMATION settings, which are used when Xplay is used by an
automation system to control the Vertigo XG device.
Xplay’s Settings window is accessed by selecting the TOOLS>SETTINGS menu command.
While each of the Xplay and Automation settings are described in the X
PLAY USER MANUAL,
it is worth noting that the TV F
ORMAT should match the TV format of the templates that you
build in Xstudio and the O
UTPUT RESOLUTION setting in the Vertigo XG’s Dashboard.
Figure 3-10. Ensure that Xplay’s TV Format setting and Dashboard’s Resolution setting are identical
