I have a monitor with three BNC connectors. Why won't it

work with my RADEONMAC® EDITION?

Monitors that only have three BNC connectors require a synchronization (“sync”) signal to be sent down the green line. This is called Sync-on-Green (SOG). ATI accelerator cards do not output a SOG signal. Adapters are available for your Mac OS computer to convert the separate sync signal from the ATI card to a SOG signal for the monitor. Check with your local Apple Authorized Dealer for availability of SOG adapters.

I have a monitor with five BNC connectors. Why won't it

work with my RADEONMAC® EDITION?

For a cable with five BNC connectors, ensure that they are all connected to the monitor. If only three of the cables are connected (i.e., R, G, and B), the monitor is expecting a Sync-on-Green (SOG) signal.

Some monitors may have a switch to set the monitor to either SOG or separate sync. If the switch is set to SOG, the monitor will show a scrambled display. Setting the switch to separate/composite sync may resolve the problem.

A number of BNC cables, even though they are designed for Mac OS computers, do not supply the sense code needed by the graphics card. Using an adapter that sets the appropriate sense code should solve the problem.

After selecting a VGA monitor type in the VGA Monitors dialog, I couldn’t change the resolution in the Resolutions Supported scroll list.

This scroll list in the ATI Displays control panel only shows the available resolutions for the monitor type selected, and will not allow you to select and change resolutions. Changing resolutions can only be done through the standard Monitors control panel, Control Strip module, or by using the Popup Menu supplied with the RADEON

MAC® EDITION.
