2.5 Connecting Picture Sources

Digital and analog computer pictures share a common connector
Computer sources
Connect computer pictures to the DVI-I connector.
This is the standard DVI digital connector, but you
can convert it to a 15-pin D-sub for analog computer
pictures with the supplied adapter.
Computer sources are RGB. Later you will set the
Colorspace to RGB in the Picture menu.
Video sources
Connect composite video pictures to the RCA con-
nector.
Connect S-Video pictures to the S-Video connector.
Both connectors accept NTSC, PAL or SECAM
video sources.
If Bay Cat is shipped to a destination outside the US,
the video inputs are disabled.
YPbPr sources
Component video sources, such as those provided
by some DVD players, should be connected to the
15-pin connector (through the adapter on the DVI
connector).
Most DVD players have red, green, and blue RCA
connectors for component video output. There is
available a cable with three BNC connectors on one
end (red, green and blue) and a 15-pin connector on
the other.
Therefore, to get from a DVD player to a Bay Cat,
you will need the following parts, listed from DVD to
Bay Cat:
1. RCA male to BNC female adapter, 3 each
2. Cable with BNC on one end, 15-pin VGA connec-
tor on the other
3. 15-pin to DVI adapter (supplied)
The Colorspace in the Picture menu will be set to
YPbPr to see the colors correctly.
Macrovision, a proprietary method of encrypting DVDs
so they cannot be copied, is not supported for YPbPr
component sources. It is supported for composite and
S-Video inputs. If you can't see a DVD movie, try the
composite or S-Video outputs of the DVD player.
YPbPr supports both progressive and interlaced
scanning.
