Connecting video inputs

The unit provides full DVI/I connections for video. This means that it can receive, and transfer, any VGA or DVI input (from analog to single or dual link digital) up to the following maximum resolutions and rates:

Analog: 1920 x 1200 x 60Hz

Single link digital: 1920 x 1200 x 60Hz (up to 165MHz pixel clock)

Dual link digital: 2560 x 1600 x 60Hz (up to two times 165MHz pixel clock)

Generally, all inputs should be of the same type, i.e. all analog or all digital (and the monitor should correspondingly be of the correct type). However, there are certain situations where mixing of different video types is possible - contact technical support for more details.

The use of DDC information (automatically provided by the video display) could cause issues in certain high security installations - please see the Video display (DDC) information section on page 10 for further details).

To connect an analog video input

1Wherever possible, ensure that power is disconnected from the unit and the host computer(s) to be connected.

2As appropriate, connect either a digital or analog video display to the DVI/I socket on the far left side of the rear panel:

Digital Connect the digital video display cable to the port labeled within the user console section on the rear panel.

Analog Connect a converter module to the port labeled within the user console section on the rear panel. Connect the analog video display cable to the converter module. In both cases, ensure that the securing screws are used to maintain reliable links.

3Connect the plug at the other end of the cable to the corresponding video output socket of the appropriate host computer.
