HOW DO I GET STARTED?
The fastest way to get started is to take your time and do everything right the first time. Taking 15 minutes to
read the manual may save you a few hours later. You don’t even have to read the whole manual - if a certain
section doesn’t apply to you, you don’t have to spend your time reading it.

Rack Mounting
Each of the Scan Converters described in this manual mount in a standard 19” (1RU) EIA rack assembly. These
devices do not require spacing above or below the unit for ventilation. Four standard rackmounting screws are
provided for each of the four corner holes in the rack ears.
5.2 Connecting the Scan Converter to a Computer and Monitor
Disconnect the computer monitor’s input cable from the computer’s VGA output connection. Connect this cable
to the 'VGA OUT' connector on the back of the Scan Converter. Macintosh computers that do not have an
HD15 type output connector may require an additional adapter. Next, use the VGA cable supplied to connect
the VGA output connection from the computer to the ‘VGA IN’ connector on the back of the Scan Converter.
After these connections are made and the computer and monitor are switched on, you will see the computer’s
output displayed on the computer monitor as before, even when there is no power to the Scan Converter.
5.3 Connecting the Video Outputs
The Scan Converter provides several different output types to allow connection to various video displays and
other equipment. The choice of output type depends on what your equipment can accept.
