1INTRODUCTION AND SETUP
This chapter explains how to connect power, monitors and network connectivity to your
NVG1 NewTek-Vizrt IP Graphics Server. It also reviews the licensing process. After
completing this short section, you’ll be all set to begin using your NVG1.
SECTION 1.1 WELCOME
Thank you for purchasing this NewTek™ product. As a company, NewTek is extremely proud of its record of
innovation and commitments to excellence in design, manufacture, and superb product support. NewTek IP
Series products are the most advanced live production tools available, and you will find them exceptionally
powerful and versatile.
NewTek’s innovative live production systems have repeatedly redefined broadcast workflows, providing
new possibilities and economy. In particular, NewTek has been a leader in introducing integrated devices
providing a complete set of tools related to program creation and broadcast, along with web streaming and
social media publishing. This tradition continues in collaboration with Vizrt to bring you the NVG1 NewTek-
Vizrt IP Graphics Server. Its implementation of NewTek’s innovative NDI (Network Device Interface)
protocol places your new system squarely in the forefront of IP technology solutions for the video broadcast
and production industries.
SECTION 1.2 OVERVIEW
The NVG1 NewTek-Vizrt IP Graphics Server is a turn-key real-time CG and motion graphics platform that
combines a powerful 1RU server with Vizrt’s industry-leading Viz Trio™ character generator and Viz Engine™
compositing software. Built with IP workflows in mind, the NVG1 provides deep integration and connectivity
with NewTek’s IP Series and TriCaster line of live production systems via NewTek’s NDI®(Network Device
Interface) IP video protocol.
Key features include:
•Real-time 3D CG & motion graphics
•Multi-layered playout
•Single or dual channel configurations
•Smart templates with user options
•Ability to replace text, graphics & clips
•Change colors, textures, and looks on-the-fly
•Transition Logic
•Supports HD & 4K UHD
•Macro automation control
•Support for the full line of Vizrt workflow products
•Generic news & sports graphics package included
•Availability of custom graphics packages
SECTION 1.3 SETTING UP
Hint: NVG1’s interface requires a monitor resolution setting of at least 1280x1024.
1. Connect an external computer monitor to the any of the display port connectors on the backplate
(see Input/Output Connections).
2. Connect the mouse and keyboard to USB
ports also on the backplate.
3. Connect the power cord to NVG1’s
backplate
4. Turn on the computer monitor.
5. Press the Power switch on NVG1’s
faceplate (located behind the drop-down
door).
At this point, the blue Power LED ring will
illuminate, as the device boots up. (If this does
not happen, check your connections and retry).
Though not a requirement, we do strongly
recommend that you connect NVG1 using an
uninterruptable power supply (UPS), as for any
‘mission critical’ system.
Likewise, consider A/C “power conditioning”, especially in situations
where local power is unreliable or ‘noisy’. Surge protection is especially
important in some locales. Power conditioners can reduce wear on NVG1’s power supplies and other
electronics, and provide a further measure of protection from surges, spikes, lightning and high voltage.
SECTION 1.4 REAR CONNECTIONS
External computer accessories, network interfaces, and power are connected to the appropriate connectors
on NVG1’s backplate.
1. HDMI – monitor ports (Not Used)
2. Ethernet – network connections
A word about UPS devices:
‘Modified sine wave’ UPS devices are popular due to
low manufacturing costs. However, such units
should generally be viewed as being of low quality
and possibly inadequate to fully protect the system
from abnormal power events.
For a modest added cost, consider a "pure sine wave"
UPS. These units can be relied on to supply very
clean power, eliminating potential problems, and are
recommended for applications demanding high
reliability.

3. USB – connect keyboard, mouse and other peripheral devices.
4. Motherboard audio connectors
5. GPU display port connectors
6. Power
SECTION 1.5 NETWORKING
Generally, simply connecting a suitable cable from one of the two Gigabit Ethernet ports on NVG1’s backplate
is all that is required to add it to a local area network (LAN). In some settings, additional steps may be
required. You can access the system Network and Sharing control panel to accomplish more extensive
configuration tasks. If further help connecting is required, please consult your system administrator.
All that is required to connect the NVG1 to your NewTek production system is running an Ethernet
cable between the NVG1 and a switch or connector on the same network with the desired NewTek
switcher.
SECTION 1.6 LICENSING
1.6.1 OVERVIEW
Your NVG1 comes with 90-day temporary Vizrt License when shipped from the factory. This License is
comprised of a software license key that is paired to a Vizrt Hardlock Dongle housed inside of the NVG1
chassis. Without these items the Viz Engine software would not start. You may use the NVG1 with the
temporary license during the installation and setup of the system.
When you are ready to begin normal operations, please contact NewTek Technical Support to fully register
your system and begin your annual software support contract. At this point, you will also receive your
permanent Vizrt software license.
To contact NewTek Technical Support, please submit at Support Request using the following link:
http://New.Tk/help
1.6.2 LICENSE KEY
The permanent license will be sent in an email that includes the 64-character License, a list of the Licensed
Features, and the Hardlock Dongle ID associated with this License. The License and Dongle ID are tied
together, and a License cannot be applied to another Dongle. Any updates or extensions to the Licensed
Features will be done through the application of another License.
Example License
D4 99 B8 95 C3 BD BD 9B C3 EF B6 52 F9 D3 10 FA 9C 66 81 9B 76 BE 23 98 C3 67 C1 7E 30 24 BC 76
1.6.3 APPLYING A LICENSE
1. The Hardlock Dongle should already be installed inside the NVG1 chassis
2. Launch Viz Config for Trio Preview by double-clicking on the desktop shortcut
3. The Viz Config window will open
4. Select Viz License Information
5. Confirm the Sys ID on the window matches the Hardlock Dongle ID in the email
6. Copy the License from the License Information File
7. Paste the License into the License field and press Enter
8. Close the Viz Config window
1.6.4 LICENSE EXPIRATION
Licenses may be either temporary or permanent, depending on your needs. A temporary License
must be renewed on a consistent basis at a specific interval (ie. A single month, or even year). When
the expiration date is reached, the Viz Engine will no longer start, and instead will display the Viz
License Check window. This renewal can be completed through a NewTek Tech Support representative or
from Vizrt directly.
The NVG1 permanent license requires no such renewal, and will never expire.

2GETTING STARTED
This chapter explains how to start the Vizrt software, load a project, and get an output on
screen. After this section, the NVG1 is fully operational and ready to use either the installed
generic graphics packages or other Vizrt projects from other sources, including custom
graphics packages.
SECTION 2.1 VERIFY THE SYSTEM
2.1.1 LAUNCHING THE VIZ ENGINE SOFTWARE
1. Make sure the system is turned on
2. If not, open the front panel of the chassis by flipping it down
3. Push the power button on the left with the blue LED ring
4. Once Windows boots up, you need to set the output format
5. Select the Output Format section, and pick your desired resolution
6. Repeat the process for Viz Engine 1, and Viz Engine 2
