Matrox Extio Series – User Guide
Step-by-step connection setup
1
Connect your unit to your
interface card
To connect your Extio unit to your interface
card, you need a dual LC optical cable (sold
separately).
Connect one end of your optical cable to the
optical connector of your interface card.
Connect the other end of your cable to the
optical connector on your unit. Make sure
your connectors are properly connected.
2
Connect your monitors
Extio F1400/F1420
–
Connect your
monitors to the monitor connectors at the
back of your Extio unit.
If your monitors have DVI connectors,
connect them directly to the monitor
connectors at the back of your unit.
If your monitors have HD-15 connectors,
use DVI-to-HD15 adapters to connect your
monitors to the monitor connectors at the
back of your unit.
WARNING:
Because the body of your Extio unit is used to disperse heat, it may become
warm to the touch. Make sure your unit is located in a well ventilated area and nothing is
blocking its ventilation holes.
Note:
The maximum length of optical
cable supported by your Matrox product is
250 meters/750 feet. For more
