Connecting the Video Source

The video connection to the host is made through a HD-15 (female)
connector.

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 33).

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:

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 or 1V above reference black into
75 ohms) and separate horizontal and vertical sync
signals. For information on setting the video input
level, refer to Page 25.
