Connecting video inputs
The unit provides full DVI/I connections for video. This means that it can receive,
and transfer, any VGA or DVI input (from analog to single or dual link digital) up
to the following maximum resolutions and rates:
Analog: 1920 x 1200 x 60Hz
Single link digital: 1920 x 1200 x 60Hz (up to 165MHz pixel clock)
Dual link digital: 2560 x 1600 x 60Hz (up to two times 165MHz pixel clock)
Generally, all inputs should be of the same type, i.e. all analog or all digital (and
the monitor should correspondingly be of the correct type). However, there are
certain situations where mixing of different video types is possible - contact
technical support for more details.
The use of DDC information (automatically provided by the video display) could
cause issues in certain high security installations - please see the Video display
(DDC) information section on page 10 for further details).
To connect an analog video input
1 Wherever possible, ensure that power is disconnected from the unit and the
host computer(s) to be connected.
2 As appropriate, connect either a digital or analog video link cable to the
required DVI/I socket on the rear panel:
Digital Connect a digital video link cable to the port labeled within
the appropriate channel group on the rear panel.
Analog Connect a converter module to the port labeled within
the appropriate channel group on the rear panel. Connect an analog
video link cable to the converter module. In both cases, ensure that the
securing screws are used to maintain reliable links.
3 Connect the plug at the other end of the cable to the corresponding video
output socket of the appropriate host computer.
