~To connect to a monitor with an analog RGB input, use an adapter that converts from the DVI connector directly to a 15- pin D-sub connector. This adapter is provided as a standard item with your Quadra. As an alternative, standard cables are readily available to convert from the DVI connector to either 15-pin D or BNC connectors.

Remember that each output connector supports both analog and DVI signals. For a selected output channel, both the analog and digital outputs can be used simultaneously, however, only one output resolution can be set.

In Appendix C, refer to the DVI-I Connector” section for detailed wiring instructions for channel output connectors.

Note

Analog display devices must be able to accept RGB inputs

 

of at least 15 kHz.

 

 

4.Select a Control Method — either RS-232 or Ethernet. Both methods use a command line interface:

~Serial Control — To control Quadra using a terminal emulation program (such as Hyperterminal or Procomm), connect the COM port of your computer (or other terminal control device) to Quadra’s RS-232 serial port. A straight through cable (typically 9-pin male to female with one-to-one wiring) will be required.

In Appendix C, refer to the RS-232 Connector” section for information on RS-232 connection parameters.

Please continue with the “System Control Setup” section.

~Ethernet Control — To control Quadra over a network, connect an Ethernet cable (from your LAN, Ethernet hub or switch) to Quadra’s 10/100 Base-T Ethernet port. This method allows you to use a Telnet session. Ethernet is also ideal for controlling multiple Quadra units from a single control point.

Note

A PC can be connected directly to the Quadra’s Ethernet

 

port, without being connected to a network. For this “peer-

 

to-peer” method, an Ethernet crossover cable is required.

 

In Appendix C, refer to the “Ethernet Connector” section

 

for pinout details.
