Chapter 2, Connecting External Devices to Matrox Convert DVI
Typical Matrox Convert DVI connections
The following three illustrations show some typical Convert DVI connections. In
the first two 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 also 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. In the last illustration, we show
the required connections for using Convert DVI in stand-alone mode with analog
component and SDI connections.
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.
• 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.
