To connect and turn on the VGA Recorder Pro device
1
Use a VGA cable to connect the VGA source to the VGA
Recorder Pro VGA IN port on the back of the VGA Recorder
Pro device.
You can use an active VGA splitter to split the VGA signal
between a monitor and the VGA Recorder Pro device.
Note:
Passive splitters reduce the quality of the VGA signal. Good
quality active splitters, (available from Epiphan) do not usually
affect signal quality. You should use a splitter with the highest
available bandwidth.
2
Use a RJ-45 Ethernet cable to connect the VGA Recorder Pro
Ethernet port on the back of the device to a 10/100/1000 Base-
T Ethernet network.
For best performance, connect the VGA Recorder Pro device to
a 1000 Base-T Ethernet.
The network must be running the TCP/IP protocol. Ideally the
VGA Recorder Pro device should be able to connect to the
Internet.
