1 Introducing Matrox Convert DVI This chapter lists the Convert DVI system requirements, and describes the available documentation.
2 Welcome to Matrox Convert DVI Matrox Convert DVI products let you convert high-resolution DVI sources to HD and SD video for broadcast, display, and recording. It takes your DVI output and converts it to high-quality SDI and analog video simultaneously. Stereo audio input can be embedded into the SDI output from Matrox Convert DVI. You can choose to output your entire computer screen, or focus on details in a specific region of interest on the screen.
3 Matrox Convert DVI system requirements For initial configuration, Matrox Convert DVI requires a computer with the following system configuration: • Microsoft Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, or Home Premium (32- or 64-bit) with Service Pack 1, or Windows XP Professional 32-bit with Service Pack 3. • One free USB 2.0 port. • A PCIe display card that supports at least one DVI-D output.
4 • A plus (+) sign is used to indicate combinations of keys and/or mouse operations. For example: $ CTRL+C means to hold down the CTRL key while pressing the C key. $ SHIFT+click means to hold down the SHIFT key while you click an item with the mouse. Last-minute information Any important information that wasn’t available for inclusion in this manual by publication time is provided to you in the Matrox Convert DVI Release Notes.
2 Connecting External Devices to Matrox Convert DVI This chapter shows you how to connect external devices to Matrox Convert DVI.
6 Available Convert DVI connections Matrox Convert DVI allows you to connect multiple devices for simultaneous output, and supports the following connections: • One DVI input and one DVI output. • One USB 2.0 port (required for configuring Convert DVI only). • Your choice of one of the following video output combinations: $ HD SDI output with embedded audio and simultaneous HD analog component output. $ SD SDI output with embedded audio and simultaneous SD analog component output.
7 Convert DVI to your display card’s second output). Because Convert DVI doesn’t have a screen, you can connect a DVI monitor to the DVI OUT on your Convert DVI in order to preview what will be output through Convert DVI’s video outputs. Whatever is displayed on the monitor connected to Convert DVI’s DVI OUT (Convert DVI desktop) is output as high-quality video through the Convert DVI video outputs.
8 ¡ Important Convert DVI’s USB connection is needed only when installing ConvertUtils (see “Installing your Matrox software” on page 20), or configuring Convert DVI (see Chapter 4, “Configuring Matrox Convert DVI”). Although a USB connection is required for programming Convert DVI for stand-alone mode, it is not required for using Convert DVI in stand-alone mode (see “Stand-alone mode” on page 46).
9 6 Connect the female stereo audio jack on the computer end of the Convert DVI cable to your speakers. You can also connect your speakers to Convert DVI’s RCA audio outputs if you have the proper adapter. 7 Connect the DVI connector on your DVI monitor to the DVI OUT on Convert DVI. If your DVI monitor is black when you start Windows, see “If you have display issues when starting Windows” on page 25 for more information.
10 Connecting Convert DVI to your computer’s secondary DVI output If your display card has multiple DVI outputs, you can connect Convert DVI to your secondary DVI output. By doing this, you can use two monitors in your workflow. You can use your primary monitor as a workspace to configure Convert DVI and perform any other Windows tasks, and your secondary monitor exclusively to preview what will be output through Convert DVI’s analog and SDI outputs.
