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.

Introduction
Xmedia Server’s standard and option features
The Xmedia Server is a 2RU rackmount server with 2TB of RAID-1 storage and is factory configured to run Windows Server 2003 as its operating system. Additional software applications and services that are factory installed include:
•MICROSOFT SQL SERVER 2008: The Xmedia Server uses a Microsoft SQL Server database to store asset details, categories, work order processing data, publish processing data, and other relational information and data. See page 5-1 for more information.
•XMEDIA SERVER CONTROL PANEL: The Xmedia Server Control Panel is the user interface for configuring and controlling the Xmedia Server. See page 3-14 for more information.
•VERTIGOXMEDIA DATA SERVER: The Data Server is a service application that manages 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 for more information.
In addition to the Xmedia Server unit, the following options are also offered to enhance the capabilities of the Xmedia Server:
•“Work Order Management Option” on page 1-3
•“Xplorer - Media Asset Management application” on page 1-3
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 “Work Order workflow 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 XPLORER USER MANUAL for more information.
