VX Series Servers

The VX Series products provide the ability to add more storage to VS based

installations and provides central network storage for multiple VC based instal-

lations. The VX Series is only storage. You can’t connect a VX to a TV. For

example, you could install 4 VC Series players in four different rooms of the

house and access one to four VX Series storage devices located in the central

equipment room.
