Typical Matrox Convert DVI connections
Typical Matrox Convert DVI connections
The following illustrations show some typical Convert DVI connections. In these
illustrations, we’ve connected a DVI monitor to preview the Convert DVI
desktop, and also two different types of video devices to the Convert DVI outputs
(such as analog component and SDI). We’ve connected the audio output from the
Convert DVI box to one of the video devices, but you can connect it to a sound
mixer if you are using one.
Remarks
• The USB connections in these illustrations are required only when you want
to configure Convert DVI, and are not needed if you want to use Convert
DVI in stand-alone mode.
• As shown in “Analog component and SDI connections (stand-alone mode)”
on page 14, you can have the DVI-based input device that you’ll be using in
stand-alone mode connected while you’re configuring Convert DVI. For
example, you could connect your DVI camera while using your laptop to
configure Convert DVI.
• You can also connect an external sync generator to ensure proper equipment
timing. However, this is optional as the Convert DVI generates its own
internal reference signal if an external genlock is not available.
