2-6 Vertigo XG Configuration Guide
Overview of the Vertigo XG’s Hardware
Graphics Card’s DVI
Connectors The graphics card’s DVI connectors allow you to connect the
Vertigo XG device to DVI monitor. The monitor is only required during
the device’s initial configuration, so as to display Vertigo XG’s desktop
applications, including XG Dashboard.
Note that although there are two (2) DVI connectors, the Vertigo XG
can display to only one monitor. Therefore, it does matter which of the
two connectors the monitor’s cable is connected to.
Use the adapter (below) if you would rather connect a VGA monitor.
RS-422 Connectors Vertigo XG hardware option: Vx-RS422-e
The 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.
The following represents the pinout assignments of the RS-422
connector:
Time Code Card Time Code Card option: VX-TC-e
The Time Code card allows you to lock the Vertigo XG’s system clock
to an external timecode. The Time Code card reads Longitudinal Time
Code (LTC) from the signal present at the BNC connector.
The Time Code option ensures an accurate time stamp for system
logs. Accurate time is also required for time-based on-air graphics (i.e.
countdown clocks).
