Matrox ATC – User Guide
Connection setup
This section describes how to connect your monitors to your Matrox graphics card. Your connection
setup depends on the connection type your main monitor supports.
For a main analog monitor
If your main monitor uses 50 ohms analog input though BNC (Bayonet Neil-Concelman) connectors
(such as Sony DDM, NTT-AT SI-DL4M, Barco ISIS, and similar monitors), you need to use a BNC
cable.
WARNING:
Don’t change monitor connections while your computer is turned on. While
your computer is turned on, it may be using monitor settings that are specific to the current
monitor connections.
Some
devices may be permanently damaged if incorrect settings are
used.
Note:
To connect a digital monitor (a
monitor that uses digital input, usually a
flat panel monitor) to your Matrox
product, your monitor must have a DVI
connector.
Some monitors with DVI connectors
support both digital and analog input. If
you’re using one of these monitors with
your Matrox product, make sure it’s configured to use the correct type of input. For more
information, see your monitor documentation.
WARNING:
If an unsupported monitor is used with your Matrox product, this monitor
may be permanently damaged. If you’re using the BNC cable to connect an analog monitor
to the main connector (
A
) of your graphics card, this monitor must have RGB connectors
that support 50 ohms and sync connectors that support 75 ohms. For more information,
see your monitor documentation.
