Connecting the Video Source
The video connection to the host is made through a HD-15 (female)
connector or to BNC connectors using a 5-BNC to HD-15 adapter cable.
For more information on using an HD-15 video cable to connect to the
host computer, refer to Appendix B (Page 46).
To establish a signal using the HD-15 connector:
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 6- or 15-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:
It may be possible to 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 or 1V above reference
black into 75 ohms) and separate horizontal and vertical
sync signals. Please contact your Rockwell Automation
representative for more information,
To establish a signal using the BNC to HD-15 BNC adapter cable:
1.
Obtain 75-ohm coaxial cables fitted with BNC connectors. Make
sure the cables are of equal length.
Note:
A BNC to HD-15 adapter cable is available from
Rockwell Automation for connecting the monitor to a
BNC terminated RGB video source.
2.
Connect one end of the cable to the appropriate BNC input
connectors (R, G, B, HS/CS, VS) on the video source.
Note:
The BNC cables are color coordinated for the red,
green, and blue connectors. The horizontal and vertical
sync connectors are typically gray and black. The
letters H (horizontal sync) and V (vertical sync) are
embossed on the plastic covering of the appropriate
connectors.
3.
Connect the other end to the corresponding connector of the BNC to
HD-15 adapter cable.
