Introduction

This guide provides basic Vertigo XG product information, as well as an orientation of its 
hardware components. This guides also provides instructions for performing a first-time 
installation of the Vertigo XG device, as well as initial setup tasks to get the device up and

performed by qualified network administrators or Grass Valley’s Integration Specialists.

scope of this document, but are covered in the 

Vertigo XG Configuration Guide
