Connecting video sources 37
Connect the cable’s DVI connector to one of the DVI connectors on Matrox Solios
eA/XA. Then, connect the BNC connectors as follows.
Important To connect the output of a display board (with a DVI output connector) to the
analog video input connectors, you can use a standard cable (DVI-I to DVI-I or
DVI-A to DVI-A cable) if the display board encodes the synchronization signals
on the video data (sync on green). Otherwise, you must use the Matrox
DVI-TO-8BNC/O cable or a custom cable that re-routes the synchronization
signals to the appropriate pins.

VID IN 2 P2_VID_IN_A P2_VID_IN_B Video input A or B for path 2 (monochrome or
blue input).
VID IN 3 P3_VID_IN_A P3_VID_IN_B Video input A or B for path 3 (monochrome

EXP 1/3 P1_TTL_AUX(EXP)_OUT P3_TTL_AUX(EXP)_OUT TTL timer output for PSG 1 or 3.
*. Note that only VID IN 0, TRIG 0, and EXP 0 can be used with Matrox Solios eA/XA Single since there is only one acquisition path (P0).
†. Note that only VID IN 0 and 1, TRIG 0 and 1, and EXP 0 and 1 can be used with Matrox Solios eX/XA Dual since there are only two acquisition
paths (P0 and P1).
