Verifying the Installation and Setup by Previewing the Playout
To verify that the Vertigo XG is properly connected and operating, we recommend that you
use the local copy of Xplay to load and playout an asset in the Live window and broadcast
monitor associated with the Vertigo XG’s Channel A. For dual channel Vertigo XG devices,
we recommend performing the same verification tasks on Channel B.
The following sections provide instructions for verifying the installation and setup of the
Vertigo XG:
1
Verify the Vertigo XG’s Output Resolution
2
Enable the Vertigo XG’s Live Window

Verify the Vertigo XG’s Output Resolution
Each of the Vertigo XG’s output channels (Channel A and Channel B) have an Output
Resolution setting on their respective Dashboard, which determines the format of the
Vertigo XG’s output signal.
To verify (and change if necessary) a Vertigo XG’s output channel resolution
1 In the Vertigo XG’s Control Panel for Channel A, select the
Tools>Launch Dashboard
menu command.

If the device is not listed in Dashboard’s Device List, perform a device discovery (see the
Vertigo XG Configuration Guide for instructions).

setting. If the setting represents your desired output
resolution, continue to the next task.

resolution from the drop-down list and click the

button. When
prompted, click

to apply the changes. Click

again to restart the device, which
applies the new setting.
Enable the Vertigo XG’s Live Window

window called the Live Window. The Live Window allows you to display a representation of
the output channel’s playout directly on the Vertigo XG’s desktop.

menu command in the Vertigo XG’s Control Panel for Channel A. Then, select the
