Radio/TV and TV only modes differ in the management of the Xautomation software. In Radio/TV mode, both the audio file used as a master for synchronization with XautoTV, and the video file to be played on XautoTV must be present on Xautomation. In TV only mode, only the video file must be present on Xautomation to which to associate a silent audio file (dummyvideo), which adapts to the duration of the video, to allow synchronization between Xautomation and XautoTV. |
Click on the Disk Configuration section.
In addition to the Y: and Z: drives, choose a location for the V: drive and the T: drive, which respectively represent the XautoTV video archive and shared directory.
Enter the paths for the two drives and the local installation path of XautoTV.
|
The T: drive must correspond to the XautoTV installation folder (generally, it is C:\Xdevel\XautoTV). On the main computer, the XautoTV archive and data are saved in the local installation folder. Any secondary workstations will have as drive T: the network path corresponding to the same folder and therefore they will read the archive and data from the main computer. The V: drive must correspond to the folder (local or shared on the network) containing all the video files to be used for your broadcaster. |
Click Connect Drive to create the V: and T: virtual drives.
In the Video 1 section, configure automatic startup synchronization between XautoTV and Xautomation.
Enter the computer name or IP address of the computer where XautoTV is started and enable synchronization at startup.
The Video 2 section contains Other Video Options for configuring the default paths to system resources.
