then DVI output is also HDCP encripted. In this case the PC analog output
will be turned off.
8. Includes advanced features such as Noise Reduction and overscan/underscan adjustment.

1. PC input: Connects this PC input connector to the VGA output of yourPC. The acceptable PC resolutions range from VGA~WUXGA.
22. DVI input: Connects this DVI input connector to the DVI output connector ofyour DVI source equipment. The DVI input should be digital DVI only andshould not include analog RGB signal.
The use of DVI-I connector is to ensure both DVI-I and DVI-D male connectorof the DVI cable can fit into this input connector. The digital DVI input
resloution can range from 480i~1080p, or VGA~WUXGA.
3. PC-D sub out: The connector for scaled analog RGB output.
Connect this output port to the analog PC RGB input of your monitor, orconnect it to the RGBHV input of your HD display using D-sub to 5 BNC
adaptor cable. (not included in the package)
Note: When input is a HDCP encrypted DVI signal this analog output will beturned off.
4. DVI output: Scaled digital DVI output. Connect this output to the DVI input or
HDMI input of your Digital display.
Note: When input is a HDCP encrypted DVI signal the DVI output is also HDCPencrypted. The monitor/display that connected to this output also need tobe HDCP compliant in order to get a nice and clean picture. A non-HDCP
compliant display can only display non-HDCP signal and picture will
become noise when input is a HDCP-encrypted signal.
