Installation and Quick Start Guide
RS-422 Connectors
Vertigo XG hardware option: Vx-RS422-e
The RS-422 connectors provide two control ports upon which the
automation system’s serial cables are connected. It is through this
connection that the automation system communicates and controls
the Vertigo XG using automation protocol commands.
The following represents the pinout assignments of the RS-422
connector:
Time Code Card
Time Code Card option: VX-TC-e
The Time Code card allows you to lock the Vertigo XG’s system clock
to an external timecode. The Time Code card reads Longitudinal
Time Code (LTC) from the signal present at the BNC connector.
The Time Code option ensures an accurate time stamp for system
logs. Accurate time is also required for time-based on-air graphics
(i.e. countdown clocks).
SDI Video Card I/O
Connector
A breakout cable is used to connect the Video Card I/O connectors to
the SDI video input/output cables and the reference I/O. See
, on page 12 for more information about the
Vertigo XG’s video input/output channel connections.
