Monitor emulation 

Computer sends the same video signal on two of its video ports. One is connected to the monitor and 
the other is connected to the Video Grabber. See the connection details below.

Figure 7: Monitor emulation connection schema 

One of the computer’s video outputs is connected to the DGR-1000’s video input port while the other 
is  connected  to  the  monitor.  When  ‘Monitor  emulation’  is  enabled  in  the  Video  Grabber’s 
configuration it is detected by the computer as a monitor and as such can be configured as a mirror of 
an actual screen in the computer’s graphic card configuration.
