Overview of the Vertigo XG chassis
The Vertigo XG unit is a 3RU rackmount rendering platform that incorporates redundant fans,
two power supplies, and 1 TB RAID1-enabled storage (optional 2 TB RAID10 expansion).
The only visible difference between the two models of the Vertigo XG is that the single channel
model (XG21-e) has only one (1) discrete AES audio connector, while the dual channel model
(XG22-e) has two (2) discrete AES audio connectors.
In some cases, the positioning of the connectors on the Vertigo XG’s rear panel differs
depending upon the hardware options installed. See page 1-3
