Connecting the Video Source
The video connection to the host is made through a HD-15 (female)
connector or through BNC input connectors.
To establish a signal using the HD-15 connector:
Note: For more information on using an HD-15 video cable to
connect to the host computer, refer to Appendix B
(Page 28).
1. Obtain a shielded, properly terminated video cable of length as short
as possible. Longer cables (up to approximately 50 feet in some
cases) may be used, provided they are properly constructed. Your
package may include a six-foot video cable, if specified.
2. Connect one end of the cable to the female HD-15 video input
connector on the rear panel of the monitor.
3. Connect the other end to the output of any IBM-compatible VGA
adapter or other video generator.
Note: You may connect the monitor to video generators that
do not conform to VGA standards. The main
requirement is that the generator provide analog RGB
video signals (0.714V above reference black into 75
ohms) and separate horizontal and vertical sync signals.
To establish a signal using the BNC connectors:
Note: For more information on using BNC connectors, refer to
Appendix B (Page 29).
1. Obtain 75 ohm coaxial cables fitted with BNC connectors. Make
sure the cables are of equal length.
Note: An HD-15 to BNC video cable is available from
Rockwell Automation for connecting the monitor to a
VGA video source.
2. Connect one end of the cable to the appropriate BNC input
connectors (R, G, B, HS/CS, VS) on the rear panel of the monitor.
3. Connect the other end to the corresponding output of any video
source. For example, connect the red output cable from the host to
the red input connector on the monitor.
