Connecting Source Equipment

Although frame synchronizers are built into the VR-5, you may occasionally experience a dropped or skipped frame. The likelihood of
experiencing a dropped or skipped frame depends largely on your video sources. Be sure that your video sources provide strong, stable video
signals in order to minimize the possibility of dropped frames.

Connecting Video Equipment

Connect video cameras, DVD players, and other source equipment to VIDEO INPUT connectors 1 through 3. Composite (BNC) and
S-Video connectors are provided, and when inputs are made through both types simultaneously, the S-Video input takes priority.
* When connecting a device equipped with RCA pin type connectors, use the included conversion plug.

Connect a computer.

Connect the external output of the computer to the RGB connector of PC INPUT. A built-in scan converter converts the incoming
RGB signal to a video signal.
* The resolutions supported by the internal scan converter are as shown in the table.
When connecting audio output of the computer to the PC AUDIO jack, use a stereo-mini cable.

* The PC INPUT connector on the VR-5 is D-Sub 15-pin. Using a conversion cable makes it possible to make DVI connections. A D-Sub 15-pin to
DVI cable is not included. Please purchase one separately.
When displaying moving images from computer input, flicker or other picture corruption may occur. This is called [tearing], and does not indicate
an equipment malfunction.
