In addition to graphic cards, also O
MNI
S
CALERS
are a substantial part of E
OS
to connect to projection modules. The
O
MNI
S
CALERS
provide the ability to integrate video and RGB data into the graphical data from the graphic cards.
Therefore the
out
connector of the graphic card needs to be connected to the
in
connector of the O
MNI
S
CALER
.
Only graphic cards in digital mode can be connected. DDC information from the projection device is looped
through to the graphic card for further processing.
The O
MNI
S
CALER
exists in two versions. O
MNI
S
CALER
AGX-3313
is a replacement for the O
MNI
S
CALER
AGX-3002
.
Within one system both types of O
MNI
S
CALERS
can be used, provided that the requirements given in the table
below are considered:
OmniScaler
maximal resolution / channel
required display driver
AGX-3002
SXGA
R 3.0 and higher
AGX-3313
UXGA
R 3.3 and higher
