•
Always connect the product to a protected circuit (a circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure
the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or
fire.
•
To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use
completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.
Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the
rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.

video signal to the connected panels.
Video Source Connection
The Vivid Drive 28N can be linked directly to a video source using a DP connection, an HDMI connection,
a DVI connection, a CVBS connection, or a VGA connection.
Software Connection
The Vivid Drive 28N can be linked to a computer running the NovaLCT or SmartLCT software using a USB
