PROVIDEO CONVERTER AND VIDEO CONVERTER II

4.3.2COMPUTER-DISPLAY RESOLUTION SUPPORT

The ProVideo Converter and Video Converter II do their best to determine the pixel resolution (for example, 640 x 480) and the vertical refresh rate (for example, 72 Hz) of every image that comes from your computer. While there are published standards for most of the display modes, some manufacturers of older cards may have chosen to vary slightly from these standards.

If you encounter a display mode that matches one of the Resolutions and Refresh Rates listed in Chapter 1, but the Converter does not respond to it, notify your supplier of the problem; tell them the make and model of the computer and video-display card, as well as the display resolution and vertical refresh rate you’re having a problem with.

4.3.3THE COMPUTER-INPUT CABLE

The special cable that connects your computer to your Converter, included with your ProVideo Converter or Video Converter II package, is designed to be compatible with both VGA and Macintosh computers. It is specially wired, and DB15-to-DB15HD adapters cannot be used as substitutes. Until you are used to this cable, it might be a good practice to always plug it into the computer first when you connect or reconnect it, so that you are sure to use the right connector on the Converter.
