Your Spheros/Xelos has a digital visual interface
(DVI) with which you can show PC images on
the TV screen for example.
Connecting personal computers
Connect the PC directly to the socket labeled
"DVI" on the back of the Signal Box. The digital
audio signal can be connected to the input
"Digital In 1 or 2". If your PC does not have a
DVI interface, please use a VGA/DVI adapter
cable. This is available from electronics and
computer dealers. Connect the analogue audio
output of the PC to the "AUDIO IN 2" socket.
The TV set can be connected to the following
standards: VGA (640x480 @85Hz), XGA
(1024x768 @85Hz), SVGA (800x600 @85Hz) or
SXGA (1280x1024 @75Hz).
DDC Function (Display Data Channel)
The DDC function automatically detects graphic
resolutions supported by the TV set.
If you wish to use the DDC function, first
connect the PC to the TV set via the VGA or DVI
socket. Boot the PC. Regardless of whether the
TV set is on or off, you can select the graphic
resolution (e.g. XGA 1024 x 768 at 75 Hz) in the
”Properties” menu on the PC.
