1 INTRODUCTION
This guide provides basic Intuition XG product information and an orientation of the
hardware components for all three (3) models of the Intuition XG (XG-e, XG-3U-e and XGDual-e). This guides also provides instructions for performing a first-time installation of the
Intuition XG devices, as well as initial setup tasks to get the devices up and running.
New Intuition XG devices are factory configured for standard rendering and playout
workflows. Configuring the Intuition XG settings for advanced workflows is normally
performed by qualified network administrators or Miranda’s Integration Specialists using the
Intuition XG Portal and Dashboard software interfaces. Information and instructions for
implementing advanced configurations is beyond the scope of this document, but are
covered in the “Intuition XG Configuration Guide”
.

Introduction
Intuition XG product description
The Intuition XG graphics co-processor significantly extends the graphics and clip playout
capabilities of master control switcher systems, like the Imagestore 750 or NV51000MC, by
feeding the HD/SD fill/key inputs. It’s ideal for playout of the most advanced data-driven,
channel branding and promotional graphics, including: “Coming up next” and episodic
promos. The Intuition XG provides multi-level character generation plus animation/still and
clip playout with multi-channel audio.
The Intuition XG is available in three (3) standard models:
Intuition-XG-e A single channel graphics co-processor, generally used
upstream of a master control switcher like the Imagestore 750
or NV5100MC.
Video In A
• 1RU chassis with a single power supply unit.
• 1 HD/SD video input, 1 HD/SD (Fill & Key) output
• A powerful, HD/SD character generator which allows the
playout of virtually unlimited layers of animated text and
dynamically updated text.
• 1 TB RAID1 storage for up to 200 hours of video/audio
clips and simultaneous playout of multiple clips
• Playout of up to eight (8) layers of animated and still
graphics templates for the most advanced branding and
promotional effects.
• SD output as NTSC or PAL
• HD output as 1080i, 720p or 480p
• VANC + VBI extraction processing and insertion or
VAnc/VBI pass through.
• Full automation control by serial, Ethernet and/or GPI
commands.

Introduction
Overview of the Intuition XG-3U/Dual chassis
The Intuition XG unit is a 3RU rackmount rendering platform that incorporates redundant fans,
three power supplies, and 1 TB RAID1-enabled storage (optional 2 TB RAID10 expansion).
The only visible difference between the 3RU models of the Intuition XG is that the single
channel model (XG-3U-e) has only one (1) discrete AES audio connector, while the dual
channel model (XG-Dual-e) has two (2) discrete AES audio connectors.
In some cases, the positioning of the connectors on the Intuition XG’s rear panel differs
depending upon the hardware options installed. See page 1-6
hardware options.
