For the system test installation, apply a single DVI test video input signal and connect at
least one of the display devices you plan to use in your final system installation. Verify that
your test video input is properly displayed on the display device when routed through each
input and output channel. The easiest method to ensure transmission is to connect a reliable
DVI video source directly to the Phantom 800 input.
1 Connect a DVI source to Input 1 of the Phantom 800.
This should be done using Black Diamond Video tested DVI cable. Black Diamond Video rec-
ommends that you use the same laptop that is being used to temporarily control the Phantom
800 simultaneously as the DVI source.
2 Make certain that the display being tested has been set to display a DVI digital signal.
3 Connect Output 1 of the Phantom 800 to the display device using Black Diamond Video
tested DVI cable.
