Connecting Source Cables

Using the DVI Out Connector

Digital Video Interface (DVI) digitally connects computers to their monitors or connects to any display with a DVI input.

The m70L converts the analog inputs to DVI and makes this available at the Digital Out connector. This means you can bring in a picture source - UXGA, SXGA, VGA, 1080p - to the first display and connect the rest of the displays in the loop with DVI. The advantages of DVI are:

DVI is less subject to picture degradation than analog methods of loop- through. (However, even with DVI, loop-through is not infinite.)

DVI inputs require much less setup and adjustment. You adjust the picture in the first unit only, the unit with the analog input. Setup time is reduced.

Note: When the analog source is selected, the signal coming from the DVI out connector will be accepted and displayed by other m70L displays. However, it does not strictly conform to the DVI standard. Non-Planar units will not be able to display this signal.

Depending on which input is selected, the Digital Out connector will show the picture from the analog input or the digital input.
