Connection modules

Instead of joining the wires of an open-ended cable, attached to your Matrox
Iris GT, to your input and output devices, you can use a connection module. This
ensures a safer, more robust, and reliable connection.
Simple connection modules, like the VIP-3/SC/D25SUB/F VARIOFACE
module and the DFLK-D25 SUB/B VARIOFACE module, route I/O signals
directly to/from specific wire terminals. Other, more feature-rich connection
modules, like the Matrox Breakout board and the Matrox Breakout Box
connection module, provide additional features.
This appendix provides pinout information for the simple connection modules.
For information about the Matrox Breakout board, refer to Appendix F: The
breakout board. For information about the Matrox Breakout Box connection
module, refer to the Matrox Breakout Box Installation and Technical Reference
manual.
