Not sure where to start? The following checklist provides the bare bones steps necessary
to get your MINI-T-NX system up and running.

TASK
Install MINI-T-NX System (for an overview, refer to the MINI-T-NX Installation
Quick Guide):
1. Connect MINI-T-NX signal wiring (see “Connecting Signal Wiring,” on page
35).
Route video/audio sources to switcher input connectors.
Route destinations (such as a modulators and preview monitor) to switcher
output connectors.
Set up video/audio sources to receive MINI-T-NX control commands via
PRO-BUS or integrated IR as appropriate.
2. Connect MINI-T-NX to an Ethernet TCP/IP network (see “Configuring
Ethernet Network Host Management,” on page 37).
3. Enter TCP/IP addresses into MINI-T-NX front panel (see “Configuring Front
Panel Settings,” on page 39).
Install & Configure MINI-T-NX Control Software, WinLGX (for an overview, refer to
the WinLGX Installation & Configuration Quick Guide):
4. Load WinLGX software on a PC workstation (see “Installing WinLGX
Software,” on page 44).
5. Add your MINI-T-NX’s IP address to the “Locations” database (see “Adding /
Deleting MINI-T-NX Locations in the Site Manager,” on page 46). If the “Add
new controller” dialog box does not display your MINI-T-NX server’s serial
number, check your IP address and network connections and try again.
6. Log into WinLGX (see “Connecting to Your MINI-T-NX Server/Controller,” on
page 48). If the “Add new MINI-T-NX” dialog box does not display your MINI-
T-NX’s serial number, check your IP address and network connections and try
again.
7. Create user accounts and assign rights (see “Setting User Account Rights
(Including WinLGX Password Changes)” on page 61).


TASK
8. Set time zone and clock (see “Configuring Site Information, Clock, Updating
Firmware, and Rebooting,” on page 66).
9. Configure the MINI-T-NX’s system properties (see “Configuring MINI-T-NX
System’s Switcher Properties,” on page 85) and IR ports (see “Configuring
MINI-T-NX IR Port Properties,” on page 88).
10.Configure the following device properties:
Internal (see “
Configuring MPEG Recording Presets,” on page 90 and “Editing Internal
MPEG Player and Recorder Device Resources,” on page 91)
External (see “Creating External Device Resources,” on page 95)
11.Check PRO-BUS interface, IR port, and switcher wiring by sending a
command to each device from the control panel as follows:
a. Select a device controlled by a PRO-BUS interface, or IR port in the left-
hand “Device” column on the control panel window.
b. Send a command to the selected device from the “Device control” section
of the control panel and ensure the device itself responds accordingly (see
“Using Control Panel to Perform Immediate Device and Switch Actions,”
on page 192).
NOTE: To check video quality, switch your device to an output
connected to a monitor.
12.Upload slides to the MINI-T-NX user folders through the WinLGX Storage
Manager window and enable/authorize for display in slide shows (see
“Managing SLIDES: Uploading to the MINI-T-NX and Authorizing for Display,”
on page 211 or for an overview, refer to the WinLGX Slide Management
Quick Guide).
NOTE: Slides are displayed through the WinLGX schedule or control
panel.
13.Pre-program any device and switch resources under the “Library” tab (see
“Creating Library Resources,” on page 104).
14.Save your system configuration settings and resources in a MINI-T-NX image
file (see “Saving MINI-T-NX Image Files,” on page 140).

Use WinLGX to Control MINI-T-NX System (for an overview, refer to the WinLGX
Scheduling Quick Guide):
15.If not already open, load a MINI-T-NX image file (see “Opening MINI-T-NX
Image Files,” on page 137).
16.Control MINI-T-NX system through either of the following:
Create & execute a schedule.
Immediately control devices through control panel.

INTRODUCTION
The LEIGHTRONIX MINI-T-NX combines digital video server technology, DVD and VCR
control, video/audio switching, and digital video messaging in one rack-mountable chassis.
The MINI-T-NX provides fullyintegrated digital video playback and an MPEG recorder
option, while providing support for your legacy equipment. Provided with the MINI-T-NX is
WinLGX, a software application with a programmable database of events for unattended,
automated control. When the MINI-T-NX “sees” a match between the current day and
time and a programmed event, the event is executed.
Your LEIGHTRONIX MINI-T-NX Controller is designed to be used in a host of different
applications, including the following scenarios:
AUTOMATED PROGRAM BROADCASTING AND DIGITAL VIDEO MESSAGING
MINI-T-NX Controllers are intended for use throughout the cable television and
broadcast industry for automated program broadcasting. Common industry
branches include low-power television (LPTV), master-antenna television (MATV),
and locally originated cable television channels such as public access, educational
access, government access, and leased access.
In addition, MINI-T-NX Controllers may be used for private in-house networks, as
found in hospitals, hotel and resort channels, or corporate and manufacturing
communications channels. With MINI-T-NX Controllers, these institutions would be
able to automatically feed programming, video signals such as character generators,
and JPEG slides to the desired channel at the proper time.
UNATTENDED PROGRAM RECORDING
MINI-T-NX Controllers are well suited for use in satellite and network recording.
With a MINI-T-NX Controller, you are able to switch to the proper satellite at the
desired time in order to capture the programming you need for your operations.
MINI-T-NX Controllers may also be used for playback verification and program
archiving.
TIMED EVENT SWITCHING
MINI-T-NX Controllers are designed to accommodate complex switching tasks, such
as Syndex Switching, channel wild-card switching, and channel sharing. This
expands the flexibility of your channels and your programming opportunities.
Perform Syndex Switching by scheduling your MINI-T-NX to switch syndicated
programming to only the channels with the corresponding syndication rights. Use
your MINI-T-NX to switch a different satellite signal to a channel in a process known
as channel sharing or perform wild-card sharing by switching to any available source
on a channel.
