Vertigo XG Installation & Quick Start Guide
Installation and quick start instructions
Discrete (AES) audio breakout cable
Single channel Vertigo XG units (
XG21-e
) have one discrete
(AES) audio connector, while dual channel Vertigo XG units
(
XG22-e
) have two discrete (AES) audio connectors.
For each physical SDI video output, there will be a discrete
audio breakout cable. 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.
VGA/DVI monitor adapter
A computer monitor is required during the Vertigo XG’s initial
setup, which involves using the Vertigo XG’s desktop
applications, including Dashboard.
The Vertigo XG’s graphics card connectors allow you to connect
to a DVI monitor. If you prefer, you can use the VGA/DVI adapter
to connect the Vertigo XG device to VGA monitor.
Note that although there are two (2) DVI connectors, the Vertigo
XG can display to only one monitor. Therefore, it does not matter
which of the two connectors the monitor’s cable is connected to.
Keyboard and Mouse
A keyboard and mouse are required during the Vertigo XG’s
initial setup, which involves using the Vertigo XG’s desktop
applications, including Dashboard.
Both the keyboard and mouse provided can be connected to the
USB 2.0 connectors on the front or rear panels of the Vertigo XG
device.
If you prefer to use a mouse and/or keyboard that has a PS/2
connection, there are two (2) PS/2 connectors available on the
rear panel of the Vertigo XG device.
Hard Disk Drive (HDD) screws
The HDD screws are
not required
during the initial installation
of a factory configured Vertigo XG.
The HDD screws are required to perform an on-site installation
of the 1 TB RAID10 Expansion option (
VX-2TB-UPG
), which
increases the Vertigo XG’s usable storage from 1TB to 2TB.
Therefore, we recommend storing the HDD screws for future
use.
