a synchronization (ÒsyncÓ) signal to be sent down the
green line. This is called Sync-on-Green (SOG). ATI
accelerator cards do not output an SOG signal.
Adapters are available for your Macintosh to convert
the separate sync signal from the ATI card to an SOG
signal for the monitor. Check with your local Apple
Authorized Dealer for availability of SOG adapters.
I have a monitor with Þve BNC connectors. Why won't
it work with my XCLAIM GA card?
¥ For a cable with Þve BNC connectors, ensure that they
are all connected to the monitor. If only three of the
cables are connected (i.e., R, G, and B), the monitor is
expecting a Sync-on-Green (SOG) signal.
¥ Some monitors may have a switch to set the monitor to
either SOG or separate sync. If the switch is set to SOG,
the monitor will show a scrambled display. Setting the
switch to separate/composite sync may resolve the
problem.
¥ A number of BNC cables, even though they are
designed for Macintosh computers, do not supply the
sense code needed by the graphics card. Using an
adapter which sets the appropriate sense code should
solve the problem.
After selecting a monitor type in the ATI Displays
control panel, I couldnÕt change the resolution in the
Available Resolutions window.
¥ This window in the ATI Displays control panel only
shows the available resolutions for the monitor type
selected, and will not allow you to select and change
resolutions. Changing resolutions can only be done
through the Monitors control panel, or by using the
Popup Menu supplied with the XCLAIM GA card.
Can the XCLAIM GA work in all Power Macintosh
