standard 15 pin VGA cables. These are to used when there are 15 pin VGA connectors at
both ends.”
Not all computers have a 15pin VGA connector. Some other popular connectors are
SUN type 13W3 and SGI type 13W3. These require an adapter or a special cable to
connect to the PA-converter.
Note that SGI and SUN have different pinout for 13W3 connectors.
Please note that when using shutter mechanisms, the vertical blanking period will be half
of the incoming signal, as the pixelrate out is twice the incoming. When using a standard
General Timing Formula (GTF) 1280x1024@60Hz, the blanking interval is roughly 0.55 mil-
liseconds. When coming out of the PA, the blanking interval will be 0.27 milliseconds. If your
shutter-mechanism is slower than this, it will show as a left/right leakage at the top of the
screen on CRT technology.
Therefore you need to create a new monitor timing file, having the appropriate blanking inter-
val. Check the datasheet for your shutter mechanism, double that number, and use this when
creating a new monitor timing file.
