Connecting Devices to the Video Converter
Connecting a VGA signal source to a HDTV display
WARNING:
The default output signal from the video converter is 1024 x 768 (XGA) at
60 Hz. Not all HDTV devices have the capability to display this resolution, so it is
advisable to consult the documentation for your display product before attempting
installation. If your display does not support this resolution, you may not be able to
access the menu features through the on-screen display (OSD).
1. Disconnect the HDTV display from any existing video connections.
2. Disconnect the monitor or other display (if applicable) from the VGA signal source.
3. Use one of the provided HD-15 male to YPbPr 3-prong composite RCA cables and
connect the 15-pin (VGA) connector to the
PC/HDTV OUT
port on the rear panel of
the video scaler.
4. Connect the RCA composite connectors (red/green/blue) on the same YPbPr 3-prong
composite RCA cable to the appropriate connectors (usually marked as
VIDEO IN
or
similar) on the HDTV display. (This is the same set of connectors used by the previous
display that you removed in step 1, if applicable.)
5. Connect one end of the provided HD-15 male/male cable to the VGA Out connector
on the video source. (This is the same port used by the monitor you disconnected in
step 2, if applicable.)
6. Connect the opposite end of the HD-15 male/male cable to the
PC/HDTV IN
port on
the rear panel of the video converter.
7. Connect the AC power adapter to a suitable wall outlet. Connect the opposite end to
the
DC 12V
connector on the rear panel of the unit.
8. Power on both the VGA signal source and the HDTV display.
