Connections to the Display
Proceed as follows to connect the display to your video sources, external controller(s) – if present – and AC
power.
When connecting your equipment:

Turn off all equipment before making any connections.

Use the correct signal cables for each source.

For best performance and to minimise cable clutter, use high-quality cables that are only as long as
necessary to connect two devices. (Don't use a 7m cable when a 1.8m cable will suffice.)

Ensure that the cables are securely connected. Tighten the thumbscrews on connectors that have them.
Connecting a Control System or PC:
RS232 Connection
Use a straight-through RS-232 cable with a 9-pin male connector to connect a PC or control/ automation
system (if present) to the RS-232 port on the display; see Figure 3-2.
For more information about using this connection, refer to External Control on page 53.
