Installing the Monitor Chapter 2
Connecting to a Host Analog Video Source
All monitors support analog video. Your monitor ships with a
high-quality analog video cable. Use this video cable to connect a
computer to the monitor.
To connect the monitor to an analog video source follow these
directions.
1. Connect one end of the 2 m (6 ft) analog video cable to the
female, HD-15 video input connector on the monitor.
2. Connect the other cable end to the VGA port of the computer or
to the video generator VGA port, if used.
Connecting to a Host Digital Video Source
All monitors support digital video. Use a digital video cable to connect
the host computer to the DVI connector on the monitor. This cable is
not supplied, but can be purchased as a monitor accessory.
TIP
You can use cables with a maximum length of 15 m
(50 ft) at lower monitor resolutions, provided they are
properly constructed. Video amplifiers are available for
longer distances.
TIP
You can connect the monitor to a video generator that
does not conform to VGA standards if the generator
provides analog RGB video signals (0.714V above
reference black into 75
Ω
) and separate horizontal and
vertical sync signals. Depending on the signal, the
monitor may or may not function properly.
