Installing the Monitor Chapter 2
Connecting to a Host Analog Video Source
All monitors support analog video. Your monitor ships with a
high-quality analog video cable. Use this video cable to connect a
computer to the monitor.
To connect the monitor to an analog video source follow these
directions.
1. Connect one end of the 2 m (6 ft) analog video cable to the
female, HD-15 video input connector on the monitor.
2. Connect the other cable end to the VGA port of the computer or
to the video generator VGA port, if used.
Connecting to a Host Digital Video Source
All monitors support digital video. Use a digital video cable to connect
the host computer to the DVI connector on the monitor. This cable is
not supplied, but can be purchased as a monitor accessory.
TIP
You can use cables with a maximum length of 15 m
(50 ft) at lower monitor resolutions, provided they are
properly constructed. Video amplifiers are available for
longer distances.
TIP
You can connect the monitor to a video generator that
does not conform to VGA standards if the generator
provides analog RGB video signals (0.714V above
reference black into 75 Ω) and separate horizontal and
vertical sync signals. Depending on the signal, the
monitor may or may not function properly.
