Connections
Connections do not need to be carried out in the order given within this guide,
however, where possible connect the
power in
as a final step.
User console
The ports that make up the user console are where you attach the peripherals
that will be shared between the computer systems. Ensure that power is
disconnected from the AdderView Pro 8 DVI unit.
To connect peripherals to the user console
1 Position your peripheral devices in the vicinity of the AdderView Pro 8 DVI
unit such that their cables will easily reach.

Video monitor
: The AdderView Pro 8 DVI supports both DVI digital and
VGA analogue video signals. Separate DVI and VGA ports are provided for
the user console connection and you can use either, or both, as required.
Where a computer provides analogue video, this will be routed through the
VGA port; when digital video is supplied, this will appear at the DVI/D port.
Note: The AdderView Pro 8 DVI does not perform any conversions between
digital and analogue video signals. If a connected system provides only
analogue video, then no signal will be seen on the digital DVI/D output port,
and vice versa.
Attach the lead(s) from the video monitor to the appropriate port connector.
If your video monitor has dual capabilities then you can link it to both
connectors using appropriate leads.
