BACK PANEL CABLE CONNECTIONS 

 

Video Connections 

 
The EIDOS 19D offers 4 different types of Video signal outputs: 
 

S-Video Output connector. 

3 x 75 Ohms RCA coaxial Component Video Output connectors. 

5 x 75 Ohms BNC RGB progressive Output 

DVI Digital Video Output 

 

Always use high quality cables for getting the best picture. The best results will be achieved 
by using high quality coaxial cable on Component Video Output connectors or high-quality 
S-Video cable on the S-Video Output connector. Both may be of equivalent quality if the 
associated equipment is properly tuned (especially for color and hue). On some type of 
projectors or screen, the component video may be found of higher quality. On some 
doublers or quadruplers, the S-Video may be providing better results. Always experiment 
the best selection in readjusting the color and hue accordingly. 
 
If you use the Progressive Output, move the top left switch on the rear panel to analogue 
Video. 
If you use the DVI Digital Video Output, move the top left switch on the rear panel to Digital 
Video.
