Chapter 3, Installing Your Matrox Software and Configuring Your Display
Hardware detection
The first time you connect your Convert DVI to your computer’s USB port (and
your computer is on), Windows will detect your Convert DVI hardware, and the
“Found New Hardware Wizard” may be displayed. Because the Matrox
ConvertUtils Setup program will automatically install the appropriate drivers for
Convert DVI, you can ignore the wizard (or press
ESC or click Cancel to close
the wizard), and install your Matrox software as explained in the next section.
¦NoteYour display card’s configuration utility may also detect Convert DVI as
a secondary monitor, and may prompt you to configure your display settings. You
can configure your display settings before or after installing the Matrox software.
For more information on configuring your display settings, see “Configuring
your display settings for use with Convert DVI” on page 21.
Installing your Matrox software
Perform the following steps to install the Convert DVI software:
1 Make sure that your Convert DVI is connected to your computer using the
USB connectors (see “Connecting Convert DVI” on page 7). Convert DVI’s
DVI connection to your computer is not required for software installation.
2 Before installing the Matrox Convert DVI software, make sure that you first
uninstall any previous version of the software from your computer.
3 To download and install the latest version of the Matrox Convert DVI
software, visit the “Downloads” section of our Support website at
www.matrox.com/video/support. The software installer that you use to
install the Convert DVI software depends on your Convert DVI system:
• Convert DVI only If your system includes a Convert DVI only,
download and install the Matrox ConvertUtils “Software” for your
Convert DVI product.
• Convert DVI and Matrox MXO2/Mojito MAX If you want to use
Convert DVI and a Matrox MXO2 product or Mojito MAX on the
same system, download and install the Matrox MtxConvert.utils
“Combo Software” for your Convert DVI product.
• Convert DVI and Matrox VS4 If you want to use Convert DVI and
Matrox VS4 on the same system, download and install the Matrox
Mtx.utils “Combo Software (VS4)” for your Convert DVI product.
For Windows 7 users When installing Matrox ConvertUtils on a
Windows 7 system, Windows will check the Microsoft Windows Update
website for the latest device drivers, which will slow down the installation.
To prevent this, click the status message that appears in the Windows
notification area during the driver installation, and in the displayed dialog
box, click "Skip obtaining driver software from Windows Update."
