Intuition XG Configuration Guide 2-19
Overview of the Intuition XG’s Hardware
When capturing audio, the Intuition XG can capture embedded and discrete simultaneously,
however there are restrictions. The stereo pair cannot be captured from both sources at the
same time. For example, if only capturing pairs 1 & 2 from embedded, then pairs 1 & 2 are
not available from AES, but 3-8 are available.
The Intuition XG performs one-to-one passthrough of audio. All captured audio will be
broadcast on the corresponding outputs. For example, if the first 2 stereo pairs of
embedded audio on SDI IN A are captured, then the signal will be output as the first 2 stereo
pairs of embedded audio on SDI OUT A and simultaneously on AES discrete outputs 1 & 2.
Ancillary data processing
The Intuition XG reserves some hardware functionality for the extraction, processing, and
insertion of ancillary data into the output video signal, for example, Vertical Ancillary (VAnc)
data and Vertical Blanking Interval (VBI) data.
The ancillary data space can be used as a transport mechanism for data to be extracted by
the Intuition XG for triggering keyers, squeezes (DVEs) or other graphics events. Metadata
embedded upstream of the Intuition XG is extracted and processed by the control
application to control these actions.
Clip Player and media storage
The Intuition XG offers a video/audio clip player option that can output clips simultaneously.
It is ideal for the playout of full screen or partial screen clips, and the player supports
MPEG2 (I frame & Long GOP), MPEG-4 / H.264, DV25, DV50, DV100, IMX30, IMX40,
IMX50, MXF, GFX and AVI formats.
All models of the Intuition XG are equipped with a base 1 TB RAID1 storage. The Intuition
XG-3U-e and Intuition XG-Dual-e models offer an expandable RAID 10 storage option,
which increases the devices storage capacity from 1 TB to 2 TB (VX-2TB-UPG). The
following table demonstrates the storage capacities of clips in multiple formats using the
base and expanded storage configurations.
