Chapter 3, Connecting External Devices to Matrox RT.X2
Connecting a DVI video monitor
¦
Note
RT.X2 LE and RT.X2 SD do not have a DVI connector for connecting a
DVI video monitor.
In order to preview the video output from your Matrox RT.X2 system, the Matrox
RT.X2 card has a DVI connector that’s used to connect a DVI monitor that
accepts digital input, such as a digital flat-panel LCD monitor.
¡ Important
Only DVI monitors that accept digital input are supported. In
order to preview full-resolution HDV video, your DVI monitor must support
a display resolution of at least 1920× 1200.
°
To connect a DVI video monitor:
1
Connect the DVI cable to your monitor following the manufacturer’s
instructions for your monitor. Some monitors may have the DVI cable
permanently attached to the back of the monitor.
2
Connect the other end of the DVI cable to the DVI connector on your
installed RT.X2 card.
For information on how to calibrate your DVI monitor for video, see the chapter
“Calibrating Your DVI Monitor for Video” in your
Matrox RT.X2 User Guide
