Ticker OneBox

The Ticker OneBox system is a cost efficient alternative when running more than one output channel from the same Ticker system. Traditionally, there had to be one Ticker Service per physical output channel (Viz Engine), but with the OneBox system enabled, one Ticker service can now feed multiple Viz Engines on the same host. In this way, a full Ticker system (including Ticker Wizard, Ticker Client, Ticker Service and dual/quad Viz Engines) can run on one computer.

The output can come from a traditional SDI out from a Matrox video board, or from NDI out from each Engine. In the latter case, the host computer does not need a video board, making the solution even more cost effective.

Enabling Ticker OneBox

To enable a OneBox system, install and configure the Ticker system. For each Output channel, check the Enable OneBox checkbox. See Output Channels.
