Display Formats and Output Usage
Graphics Output Flexibility
Because there are two separate graphics controllers, each
output channel is completely independent of the other. Both
channels can support either VGA or DVI outputs, and in fact,
one could provide VGA while the other supplies DVI.
Please contact the factory if you have a special configuration
requirement. Also, refer to the User's Manual, which provides
comprehensive information about connectors and cabling.

Video Input Capabilities
The ArgusPMC has two NTSC/PAL Conexant Fusion 878A
video digitizers which operated independently of each other.
Using the built-in DMA engine, it is even possible to transfer
the video data from both digitizers into one of the on-board
display channels, thus providing two independent live-video
windows.

The Argus supports dual VGA (analog) outputs up to
1920x1200x32 bpp with a programmable composite sync on
green.(SOG) mode. DVI capability includes resolution up to
1600x1200 and operates in single-link mode only.
The display outputs are supplied on the 68-pin front-panel
connector, which requires a breakout cable that splits out into
two standard DVI and two standard VGA connectors. Note
that the same data is supplied on both the VGA and the DVI
ports for a given display channel.

The front panel connector provides access to the S-Video
input for each digitizer. With pin sharing, it can instead support
up to three composite video inputs per digitizer: two inputs use
the S-Video pins (but not in S-Video mode) and the third input
uses the Audio Input pin. The standard breakout cable could
be used for this but connector adaptation would be needed.
