Using the Matrix with Video Signals other
than VGA
Even though the Intelix DIGI-VGASD-8X8e features HD15 (traditional VGA)
style connectors, the matrix supports video formats other than VGA. Component
video, composite video, and Y/C video may all be routed through the matrix;
HD15 connections are extremely versatile in that they provide up to 15 active
conductors. However, like inputs must be routed to like outputs.
For example, a hybrid system with component video sources (satellite receivers,
DVD players, and cable receivers) and VGA video sources (laptops and
computers) is supported in a single DIGI-VGASD-8X8e matrix. The
component video inputs must be routed to the component video outputs. The
component video inputs cannot be routed to the VGA outputs and vice versa.
Therefore, when designing and programming a system, it is required that the
input and output formats are considered and routed accordingly.
When using displays which feature multiple video input formats, it is possible to
pass up to two (2) types of video signals to a DIGI-VGASD-R or DIGI-
VGASD-WP-R, but only one (1) signal will be available for viewing at a time.
Connect a standard VGA cable from one VGA output to the VGA input of the
display and a breakout cable, such as BRKOUT-CBL, to the component video
input of the display. Either video signal can now be routed to that output and
viewed once the proper input source is selected on the display.
