WARNING:
Don’t change monitor connections while your computer is turned on. While
your computer is turned on, it may be using monitor settings that are specific to the current
monitor connections.
Some
devices may be permanently damaged if incorrect settings are
used.
Note:
To connect a
digital
monitor (a
monitor that uses digital input, usually a flat
panel monitor) to your Matrox product,
your monitor must have a DVI connector.
P&D and MDR-20 connectors aren’t
supported.
If you have an
analog
monitor (a monitor
that uses analog input) with a DVI
connector and you want to connect it to an
HD-15 connector, you’ll need a separate
adapter. If this adapter isn’t included with
your monitor, contact your monitor vendor.
Some monitors with DVI connectors support both digital and analog input. If you’re using
one of these monitors with your Matrox product, make sure it’s configured to use the correct
type of input. For more information, see your monitor documentation.
