3.0 INSTALLATION

The installation procedure described in this manual is for converting a PC output

signal to component video for an HDTV input. Other applications are possible

with the 1366, and require similar steps but different connection cables and menu

settings. See page 9 for a listing of supported resolutions.

3.1 GETTING THE BEST RESULTS

• Output display device. The quality of the output signal will depend largely

upon the type and quality of display device used. For instance, HDTV displays

may not be capable of displaying text as well as a computer monitor does.

• Using Native Resolution. It is always best to set the output resolution of the

scaler to the native resolution and refresh rate of the display device. This allows

the 1366 to do most of the scaling, which usually results in a superior picture.

• Distance between the 1366 and the display device. Long distances are

possible, but use high quality (coax-type) cables to avoid signal losses from

impedance and interference.

• Output connection cables. Low quality cables are susceptible to interference.

They degrade signal quality due to poor matching and cause elevated noise

levels. Therefore, cables should be of the best quality and identical lengths.

Coax-type computer cables are recommended because of their superior

internal shielding characteristics.

• Interference. Nearby electrical devices can have an adverse effect on signal

quality. For example, older computer monitors often emit electromagnetic fields

that can interfere with the performance of nearby video equipment.
