Chapter 4, Configuring Matrox Convert DVI
After you have programmed stand-alone mode, you can continue working with
your Convert DVI if you choose, but you must click
Program Current Settings
again to re-program any new settings that you have applied.
When you are ready to use Convert DVI in stand-alone mode:
1 Disconnect the USB cable and the power cord from the Convert DVI.
2 If you haven’t already done so, connect your desired DVI-based input device
to the DVI IN connector on Convert DVI. If you also want to output audio,
plug the male stereo audio plug on the Convert DVI cable into your source
device’s audio output jack.
3 Re-connect the Convert DVI power cord. Your Convert DVI will boot in
stand-alone mode with the settings that you last programmed.
You cannot change any Convert DVI settings unless Convert DVI is connected to
a computer using the USB connectors, and the Convert DVI software is installed.
When you reconnect the USB cable, it may take up to a minute for the Convert
DVI video output to resume. If the Matrox Convert DVI Control Panel does not
respond after you have reconnected the USB cable, close and then re-open the
control panel. For information on typical Convert DVI connections, see “Typical
Matrox Convert DVI connections” on page 11.
¦NoteIf you install a new version of the Matrox ConvertUtils software that
initiates a firmware update on your Matrox Convert DVI, the Convert DVI’s
stand-alone mode settings will be erased. You’ll therefore need to re-program
Convert DVI to stand-alone mode.
