Analog video input connectors
The two analog video input connectors are DVI dual-video-input female
connectors. They are used to receive video input signals and transmit/receive
timing, synchronization, and communication signals between the video source
and the frame grabber.
Important To connect the output of a display board (with a DVI output connector) to the
analog video input connectors, you can use a standard cable (DVI-I to DVI-I or
DVI-A to DVI-A cable) if the display board encodes the synchronization signals
on the video data (sync on green). Otherwise, you must use the Matrox
DVI-TO-8BNC/O cable or a custom cable that re-routes the synchronization
signals to the appropriate pins.
Note that synchronization and clock signals can be either LVDS or TTL; when
TTL, they are expected on the pin denoted as positive.
The pinout for DVI connector 0 is as follows:
