The HDMI output can be used on a computer monitor with Digital input (
DVI) by
using a standard HDMI to DVI adapter (not included).
Viewing on tV
Users have the option to view in
HD or SD or BOTH at the same time.
The
SSHD uses a one cable solution in order to provide power, computer control
(RS-232) and HD video signal from the
SSHD to the HDMI Convertor box. This
not only simplifies connections but also reduces weight on the camera and hence
the telescope.
An additional RCA cable (included) is used for the SD video signal.
See
Figure 20 for cables types.
See
Figure 21 for HDMI convertor box connections.
