Video Port Numbering Scheme
Each card has five HD15 female connectors. From the connectors, the input
card routes red, green, and blue video signals, as well as horizontal and vertical
sync and three monitor ID lines to the switch cards. The switch cards then pass
the signals selected output card connector(s). The matrix switch will also handle
connections that use composite sync, but not over as great a distance as native
HD15 connections.
The input cards should be connected to the monitor output of a CPU or other
video source. If necessary, an adapter may be used to convert to the HD15
connector to the required connector.
The output cards should be connected to a monitor or other video destination.
Adapters may also be used on the output cards. See Appendix B for video card
pinouts.
