Configuring The Video Display - Intergraph Intense3D Wildcat 4000 Hardware User's Manual

2. If your workstation includes any Intense 3D Wildcat 4000 multi-screen options, connect a
video cable from each workstation monitor to the blue video output port on each multi-
screen option. See the previous figure.
NOTE If a workstation monitor has no built-in video cable, use a shielded video cable with a 15-pin
(D-sub) video connector at one end for the video output port on the card, and the appropriate
connectors at the other end for the video input port on the workstation monitor.
Monitor input ports are usually D-sub or Bayonet Nut Connect (BNC) connectors. Shielded
cables usually have a ferrite core (a box- or cylinder-shaped attachment) near each end to
reduce interference with radio frequencies.
3. If you want to use a stereoscopic display device, connect the controller's stereo sync cable
to the stereo sync output port on the Intense 3D Wildcat 4000 two-card set. See the
previous figure, and see the documentation delivered with the stereoscopic display device
for connection instructions.
4. Turn on power to the workstation. The video display starts in VGA mode.
If the screen display does not appear correct on multi-screen configurations, you may need to
change the order in which the monitors and the Intense 3D Wildcat 4000 multi-screen options
are connected. For example, in a three-monitor configuration, if the displays are reversed on
the second and third monitors, swap the cable connections from these monitors to the Intense
3D Wildcat 4000 multi-screen options.

Configuring the Video Display

After connecting the monitors, you can turn on system power, start the Windows NT operating
system, and configure the video display.
CAUTION Make sure the monitors are connected to the proper Intense 3D Wildcat 4000 ports before
applying power to the monitors and to the workstation.
To start Windows NT:
1. Turn on power to the monitors and to the workstation.
2. At the boot screen, select the non-VGA version of Windows NT.
3. When prompted, press
4. Log on to Windows NT. Refer to Windows NT documentation and Help for instructions,
if necessary.
To enable your workstation to use Intense 3D Wildcat 4000, you must configure the display
properties of the Intense 3D Wildcat 4000 driver software. The driver software is installed on
the system's primary hard disk drive. The Display Properties dialog is available from the
Windows NT Control Panel to determine the system configuration and installed options.
Display Properties lets you change the video display settings to meet your needs.
