DVI connector (analog/digital)

To use a dual-monitor cable to connect one or two analog monitors, connect it to your card and to your analog monitor cables. If you’re connecting only one monitor, use the main connector (labeled 1) of your dual- monitor cable.

Note: To connect a digital monitor (a monitor that uses digital input, usually a flat panel monitor) to your Matrox product, your monitor must have a DVI connector.

HD-15 connector (analog)

If you have an analog monitor (a monitor that uses analog input) with a DVI connector and you want to connect it to an

HD-15 connector, you’ll need a separate

adapter. If this adapter isn’t included with your monitor, contact your monitor vendor.

Some monitors with DVI connectors support both digital and analog input. If you’re using one of these monitors with your Matrox product, make sure it’s configured to use the correct type of input. For more information, see your monitor documentation.

Note: Whenever you change your connection setup, make sure you’re using the correct connectors and that all connectors are properly fastened.

Whenever you restart your computer, make sure your monitors are already turned on. Otherwise, the software may not be able to properly detect your monitors.

Note: If a TV output adapter is included with your Matrox
product, you can use this adapter to connect a TV or video
recorder to your Matrox product. The adapter connects to the
secondary connector on your graphics card or to the connector
labeled 2 on your dual-monitor cable. For more information,
see “TV output” in the online version of this guide.	TV output adapter
