configuration when used with the DVI daughter card
Configuration #1 - HDTV with RGB
inputs or PC monitor. Connect the loop-back
cable to your HDTV card, and
connect your monitor cable to your monitor or HDTV. Some HDTV sets with RGB inputs
often require VGA to RGBHV (5BNC or 5RCA) cable. Please note, when in full
screen HDTV mode, you desktop will not be functional.
Component Dongle
users: When using a dongle which
converts the VGA output of a video card to component signal, the
configuration is similar to above, however you will need to convert
the connections to accommodate the MyHD octopus cable (shown at the
top). We recommend this cable
adapter.
Configuration #2 - HDTV with DTV
Component (Y-Pb-Pr) input. Configuration #2 displays
separate connections
to a computer monitor and HDTV card. In this configuration, the output of the HDTV
will be set to Y-Pb-Pr output accessed through the setup menu. VGA to Component
breakout cable is required. The PC desktop will be displayed on the monitor,
and the HDTV broadcast can be viewed on you HD-Ready TV.
Configuration #3 - HDTV with DTV
Component (Y-Pb-Pr) input. This configuration displays both PC desktop and
HDTV HD via the Y-Pb-Pr input with the use of a VGA to Component transcoder. In this
configuration, the look-back cable is used with the PC resolution set to 640x480 or
960x540 @ 60Hz. Note that the use of a transcoder will result in overscan of
the PC desktop screen on your HDTV. To correct this problem, you must set custom
timings with third party software such as PowerStrip. For information on
why and how to use a transcoder, click here.
