System Setup
To install your RGB to DVI(/VGA) Converter:
1.
Switch off all devices.
2.
Connect your TFT directly to the device; connect a VGA screen by using the equipped DVI-I
to VGA adapter.
Attention: Connect the VGA monitor cable to the adapter; then plug in the
adapter into the device. Otherwise, the VGA mode is not detected, DVI
output is generated and there will be no picture on the screen (see also on
page 1).
Under some circumstances, if your TFT supports both DVI and VGA
through a DVI-I cable, it might be necessary to use an additional DVI-I to
DVI-D adaptor to get a DVI output. Please contact technical support for this
accessory.
3.
RGB:
Connect the graphic source to the input connectors as shown in
Fehler! Verweisquelle
konnte nicht gefunden werden.
4, using the equipped 4xBNC-to-DVI adaptor. Please note, for
connecting a CGA or EGA source, connect the optional CGA-to-DVI adaptor or EGA-to-DVI
adaptor instead of the 4x BNC-to-DVI adaptor.
VGA:
Connect the graphic source to the input connectors as shown in Figure 4 using the VGA
to DVI-I Cable which is an optional feature.
TTL:
Connect the graphic source to the input connectors as shown in
