Varioptic Caspian C-39N0-160-I2C or C-39N0-250-I2C lens.
To use your Matrox Iris GTX, perform the following:
1. Connect an external power supply and your third-party I/O devices to the Digital
I/O and power connector of your Matrox Iris GTX using the provided cable.
If you have purchased the Matrox Iris GTX starter kit use the open-ended digital
I/O and power cable and Matrox I/O Breakout Box, included in the kit, to make
the connections.
If you have purchased Matrox I/O Breakout Box separately, you can make your
own cable. Alternatively, you can use the M12-CBL-PWR/3 open-wire digital I/O
and power cable from Matrox; however, you must use a custom cable to connect
it to a power supply. For more information regarding the pin-out of your Matrox
Iris GTX power and I/O connector, refer to the
Digital I/O and power connector
subsection of the Matrox Iris GTX connectors section, in Appendix B: Technical
reference .
2. Connect your display device and USB device to the VGA/USB connector of your
Matrox Iris GTX using the VGA/USB cable (either the cable from the starter kit
or GTR-CBL-VGAUSB).
Alternatively, you can build your own. For more information regarding the pin-out
of your Matrox Iris GTX VGA/USB connector, refer to the
VGA/USB connector
subsection of the Matrox Iris GTX connectors section, in Appendix B: Technical
reference .
There are multiple ways to connect devices to the VGA/USB cable. If connecting
to a display device that has a VGA connector available, we recommend using it.
To connect your Matrox Iris GTX to a display device and one or more input
devices (such as a keyboard and mouse), connect a USB hub to the USB connector
