More information
To connect the output of a display board (with a DVI output connector) to the
analog video input connectors, you can use a standard cable (DVI-I to DVI-I or
DVI-A to DVI-A cable) if the display board encodes the synchronization signals
on the video data (sync on green). Otherwise, you must use the Matrox
DVI-TO-8BNC/O cable or a custom cable that re-routes the synchronization
signals to the appropriate pins.
❖ If needed, you can purchase a Camera Link cable from the video source
manufacturer, 3M Interconnect Solutions for Factory Automation, Intercon 1, or
other third parties.
Handling components
The electronic circuits in your computer and the circuits on Matrox Helios are
sensitive to static electricity and surges. Improper handling can seriously damage
the circuits. Be sure to drain static electricity from your body by touching a metal
fixture (or ground) before you touch any electronic component. In addition, do
not let your clothing come in contact with the circuit boards or components.
Before you add or remove devices from your computer, always turn off the power
to your computer and all peripherals.
Installation
The installation procedure consists of the following steps:
1. Complete the hardware installation procedure described in Hardware installation.
2. Complete the software installation procedure described in the documentation
accompanying your software package.
