NTRODUCTION
The Vertigo XG is a full-featured HD/SD graphics processor that provides high performance
single or dual channel graphics rendering and video playback performance. The Vertigo XG
is ideal for a wide range of advanced real-time broadcast applications, like HD/SD dual-
casting with independent graphics for HD and SD, and single channel applications
demanding sophisticated, multi-channel branding and promotional graphics.
The main purpose of this Configuration Guide is to provide practical reference and
procedural information on how to use the Vertigo XG’s desktop and remote configuration
applications to configure the Vertigo XG graphics processing system.
