The ProVideo Converter and Video Converter II do their best to determine
the pixel resolution (for example, 640 x 480) and the vertical refresh rate (for
example, 72 Hz) of every image that comes from your computer. While there
are published standards for most of the display modes, some manufacturers
of older cards may have chosen to vary slightly from these standards.
If you encounter a display mode that matches one of the Resolutions and
Refresh Rates listed in Chapter 1, but the Converter does not respond to it,
notify your supplier of the problem; tell them the make and model of the
computer and video-display card, as well as the display resolution and vertical
refresh rate you’re having a problem with.

The special cable that connects your computer to your Converter, included
with your ProVideo Converter or Video Converter II package, is designed to
be compatible with both VGA and Macintosh computers. It is specially wired,
and DB15-to-DB15HD adapters cannot be used as substitutes. Until you are
used to this cable, it might be a good practice to always plug it into the
computer first when you connect or reconnect it, so that you are sure to
use the right connector on the Converter.
