Using the Matrox Convert DVI Control Panel
The Matrox Convert DVI Control Panel includes various settings for configuring
the Matrox Convert DVI video output, genlock, and region of interest settings.
You can also set your administartion settings in the Matrox Convert DVI Control
Panel.
Remarks
• In order to configure Convert DVI, it must be connected to your computer
via the USB connectors as explained in “Connecting Convert DVI” on
page 7.
• Before configuring Convert DVI as explained in this chapter, you should
make sure that you have specified your desired display settings for the
Convert DVI desktop (see “Configuring your display settings for use with
Convert DVI” on page 21). If you change your Convert DVI desktop’s
display settings after configuring Convert DVI, the video output may be
distorted. If this happens, you must re-configure your Convert DVI settings.
• Depending on your Conver DVI hardware, some of the options described in
this chapter may not be available, and your Matrox Convert DVI Control
Panel may not appear exactly as shown.
Opening the Matrox Convert DVI Control Panel
To open the Convert DVI Control Panel, do one of the following:
• Double-click the icon on the Windows taskbar.
• Right-click the icon and then choose
Open Matrox Convert DVI

Switching between Convert DVI user accounts
To ensure proper functionality of Convert DVI when using the Fast User
Switching method to switch between two Convert DVI users, the Matrox Convert
DVI Control Panel must be closed on the current user account before switching
user. Matrox Convert DVI will not function properly if the Matrox Convert DVI
Control Panel is open on two user accounts at the same time when using Fast
User Switching. However, this does not apply when switching between user
accounts using the log off/log on method.
