Installation instructions for the Intuition XG-3U/Dual
Discrete (AES) audio breakout cable
Single channel Intuition XG units (XG-3U-e) have one discrete
(AES) audio connector, while dual channel Intuition XG units (XG-
Dual-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 Intuition XG’s initial
setup, which involves using the Intuition XG’s desktop
applications, including Dashboard.
The Intuition 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 Intuition XG device to VGA monitor.
Note that although there are two (2) DVI connectors, the Intuition
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 Intuition XG’s
initial setup, which involves using the Intuition 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 Intuition 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 Intuition XG device.
Hard Disk Drive (HDD) screws
The HDD screws are not required during the initial installation of
a factory configured Intuition 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 Intuition XG’s usable storage from 1TB to 2TB.
Therefore, we recommend storing the HDD screws for future use.
