Outputting to external video devices

Matrox Orion works with VGA and high-resolution monitors.
To display the standard video output of Matrox Orion:
1. If your monitor has impedance switches, set the switches
for the red, green, and blue inputs to 75 ohms, as shown in
the illustration below. Set the switches for the
synchronization inputs according to your monitor's manual.
In most cases, these switches should be set to high
impedance and external sync mode.

2. Connect the monitor to Matrox Orion's 15-pin female VGA
output connector (DB-15). If your monitor has a DB-15
connector, use the standard DB-15 to DB-15 cable that is
usually provided with your monitor. If your monitor has 5
BNC-type connectors, use the standard DB-15 to 5-BNC
cable that is usually supplied with such monitors.
