Connecting a VGA monitor, keyboard and mouse to the Vertigo XG device’s rear panel
connectors (see
page 2-4 ) allows you to view and interact with the Vertigo XG’s desktop
and software applications. Upon startup, the Vertigo XG automatically opens its desktop
applications, which are used for configuring and controlling the Vertigo XG device locally.
Once the device is properly configured, these applications are only needed for
maintenance. As such, the monitor, keyboard, and mouse can be disconnected.
The following sections describe the Vertigo XG’s desktop appearance, as well as the
various software applications or tools that the Vertigo XG makes available through its
desktop:
•
“Vertigo XG’s desktop - device identification” on page 3-2
• “Vertigo XG Control Panel and XG Dashboard” on page 3-3
• “Xplay - Playout control application” on page 3-5
• “Vertigo Command Shell” on page 3-10
• “Windows Explorer” on page 3-12
• “Embedded Xmedia Server Control Panel” on page 3-13
• “XPublish Agent Control Panel” on page 3-15

Although it is not directly a Vertigo XG desktop application, the Vertigo XG Portal is another
software tool that is used to configure and monitor the state of the Vertigo XG device from
a remote workstation. See
“Vertigo XG Portal - Vertigo XG’s Remote Configuration Tool” on
page 4-1 for more information.
