Follow the procedure outlined in this chapter to install your ProVideo Converter or Video Converter II.

3.1Initial Steps

1.Disconnect your monitor from the monitor port on your computer.

2.Connect one end of the special 6-foot (1.8-m) input cable provided with the Converter to the monitor port on your computer. (See Section 4.3.3 for more info on this cable.) Plug the other end into the appropriate connector on the rear panel of the Converter: either the one labeled VGA IN if you are taking VGA video from an IBM® PC or compatible or the one labeled MAC IN if you are taking Macintosh® video from an Apple® Macintosh. See Figures 3-1and 3-2on the next page.

3.If you want your monitor to continue to display, connect it to the appropriate MONITOR output connector, either VGA OUT or MAC OUT. See the next section for a description of this ouput.

4.Plug the output cord of the power supply provided with the Converter into the connector labeled POWER. Plug the power supply’s input cord into the wall outlet to provide power to the Converter. (If you ever need an AC-line cord specific to another country, call Black Box.)

5.Connect your video equipment to one or more of the Converter’s video outputs (refer to the next section).
