1 INTRODUCTION
The Xmedia Server (XMS) is the central graphical asset management server for Vertigo
Suite channel branding and playout systems. The Xmedia Server allows all branding assets
to be ingested once, centrally archived, and automatically moved to the desired graphics
device using rule-based publishing.
Figure 1-1. Xmedia Server - a central graphical asset management server
The main purpose of this configuration guide is to provide practical reference and
procedural information on how to use the Xmedia Server Control Panel application to
configure the Xmedia Server.
The following sections of this chapter provide general information about the Xmedia Server
and its optional features:
About the Xmedia Server” on page 1-2
• “
• “Xmedia Server’s standard and option features” on page 1-3
The next couple of chapters provide specific information about the Xmedia Server’s
hardware, software, and network integration. Further chapters provide instructions for how
to configure the Xmedia Server using the Xmedia Server Control Panel.

Introduction
About the Xmedia Server
The Xmedia Server (XMS) is the central graphical asset management server for Vertigo
Suite channel branding and playout systems. Assets only need to be ingested once for them
to be centrally archived on the Xmedia Server. These assets are then made available to all
of the Vertigo Suite applications on the network, which allow you to create a wide range of
graphics, including advanced, data-driven broadcast applications that link on-air graphics
elements to live data feeds. The resulting graphic pages and their assets can then be
automatically published to a range of graphics playout devices, including Imagestore,
Intuition XG, and Vertigo XG devices.
The Xmedia Server offers benefits to larger broadcast systems that have multiple channels
by sharing assets between channels without having to duplicate the assets. It also allows
for a more dynamic handling of content and a more natural workflow because media
creation, asset management, and asset distribution are conveniently linked by a common
environment.
Besides its main use as a central asset repository and asset management/distribution
system, the Xmedia Server integrates and supports the Vertigo Suite applications and other
playout devices. The following list identifies other ways in which the Xmedia Server is used
to support graphics creation and playout activities:
• Asset propagation: The Xmedia Server can be used in a hub and spoke distribution
model in which assets can be created and propagated from a central hub to various
spoke servers.
• Server replication: Two Xmedia Servers can be configured to offer full redundancy for
near instant failover with no interruption in services, including on-air playout.
• Newsroom integration: The Xmedia Server can provide graphics assets to newsroom
environments using the MOS protocol to integrate with the newsroom control system.
• User rights management: Using the Xmedia Server’s user rights management
system, system administrators and workflow managers can restrict access to some of
the system’s functionality and/or asset categories on a per-user basis.
• License management: The Xmedia Server stores and manages the software licenses
that are required to operate each of the Vertigo Suite applications.
• Work Order Workflow: The Xmedia Server provides an optional work order workflow
module that fully integrates into the Vertigo Suite. The work order workflow is used for
requesting, completing, tracking and approving graphics work orders.

data coming from various feeds, provides live updates of data values when requested and
distributes the data out to the appropriate recipients. See page 3-5 for more information.
• File Ingest Server: The File Ingest Server is a service responsible for automatically
ingesting media into the Xmedia Server from a user-created ingest folder. The File Ingest
Server is also responsible for issuing media conversion requests to the Transcode
Server, which is the service responsible for transcoding media from one format to another.
See page 3-13
In addition to the Xmedia Server unit, the following options are also offered to enhance the
capabilities of the Xmedia Server:

Introduction
Work Order Management Option
The Xmedia Server provides an optional work order workflow module (VX-WOM) that fully
integrates into the Vertigo Suite. The work order workflow is used for requesting,
completing, tracking and approving graphics work orders. See “
configuration” on page 10-1 for more information on how to use the Xmedia Server Control
Panel to create and configure the work order workflow module.

Xplorer - Media Asset Management application
The Vertigo Suite features the XPLORER application (VX-Xplorer), which is a graphical
content management system for viewing and managing the asset and file contents of the
Xmedia Server and the devices to which the XMS has published assets. See the X
SER MANUAL for more information.
