WA R N I NG : Don’t change monitor connections while your computer is turned on. While
your computer is turned on, it may be using monitor settings that are specific to the current
monitor connections. Some devices may be permanently damaged if incorrect settings are
used.
Note: To co n ne ct a digital monitor (a
monitor that uses digital input, usually a
flat panel monitor) to your Matrox
product, your monitor must have a DVI
connector. P&D and MDR-20 connectors
aren’t supported.
If you have an
analog monitor (a monitor
that uses analog input) with a DVI
connector and you want to connect it to
an HD-15 connector, you’ll need a
separate adapter. If this adapter isn’t
included with your monitor, contact your
monitor vendor.
Some monitors with DVI connectors support both digital and analog input. If you’re using
one of these monitors with your Matrox product, make sure it’s configured to use the
correct type of input. For more information, see your monitor documentation.
