Installation and Quick Start Instructions
Cabling the Vertigo XG Unit
5 Connect the video breakout cable to the SDI Video card I/O connector.
6 Connect the Discrete (AES) audio breakout cable to the Discrete audio connector(s).
Single channel Vertigo XG units (XG21-e) have one discrete (AES) audio connector and
one breakout cable, while dual channel Vertigo XG units (XG22-e) have two discrete
(AES) audio connectors and two breakout cables.
Each discrete audio breakout cable contains 4 BNC inputs and 8 BNC outputs. Each BNC
connector represents 1 stereo pair (2 channels) of digital AES/EBU audio. Therefore,
each discrete audio breakout cable contains 4 stereo pairs (8 channels) of input and 8
stereo pairs (16 channels) of output.
7 Optional: Connect the automation system cables to the RS-232 or RS-422 connectors.
The two (2) RS-232 connectors are standard equipment on both models of the Vertigo
XG, but the RS-422 card is a hardware option.
The RS-232 and 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.
SDI IN A
Primary SDI program input connection for both single and dual channel
Vertigo XG units.
SDI IN B
On single channel Vertigo XG units (XG21-e), the
SDI IN B
is a second SDI
program input connection for the single channel. On dual channel
Vertigo XG units (XG22-e), the
SDI IN B
is the primary SDI program input
connection for the second channel.
SDI OUT A
Primary output channel connection for both single and dual channel
Vertigo XG units.
For the purposes of this setup procedure, connect this cable to a
broadcast monitor.
SDI OUT B
Second output channel connection for dual channel Vertigo XG units
(XG22-e). Not used on single channel Vertigo XG units (XG21-e).
For the purposes of this setup procedure, connect this cable to a
broadcast monitor.
SDI OUT C /Key
SDI OUT D /Key
Both of these connectors are not used by the Vertigo XG.
ANALOG REF IN
Connect to a house reference (Analog Blackburst or HD Tri-Level).

Optional connection. Use to feed a reference signal to another piece of
equipment.
