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.
