Use the following steps to set up the Quadra’s output timing.
1.
Select the output channel and display device for which you want to set
up timing.
2.
Obtain a copy of the display device’s operations manual or technical
guide, and make a note of the following important parameters:
~
Type: Is the display device a CRT or LCD device?
~
Format: Is the display device Analog or Digital?
~
Resolution: Note the display device’s native horizontal and
vertical resolution (e.g., 1600 x 1200).
~
Refresh rate: Note the display device’s optimum refresh rate
(e.g., 60Hz, 75Hz, etc.).
~
Sync: For analog devices, note the type of Sync required
(5-wire, 4-wire or 3-wire).
~
Sync polarity: Note the preferred sync polarity (positive or
negative).
~
Interlace: Most graphics displays are non-interlaced, but
interlaced signals are used in some special applications. Note
the required interlace setting (interlace or non-interlace) for
your display.
3.
In Chapter 4, review the list of output parameters in the “
,” and find the set of parameters that most closely match
those of the display device (as you noted in step 2). Make a note of the
Reference ID for this set of parameters (column 1 in the Factory
Timing List). This ID will be used in a subsequent step.
S
Example: If your monitor is VESA 800 x 600 @ 75Hz, the
reference ID is
11
.
S
Example: If your monitor is VESA 1280 x 1024 @ 75Hz,
the reference ID is
21
.
4.
Ensure that the following connections have been made:
~
Quadra is properly connected to the display monitor for the
selected output channel.
~
The controlling device (such as an ASCII terminal or PC) is
properly connected to the Quadra — either via serial or
Ethernet connection.
If required, refer to the “
” section for instructions.
5.
Turn on the Quadra.
Note
This setup procedure applies to both analog and digital
displays.
