more conveniently.

Please verify that interconnect cables, interfaces and handling of the
devices comply with device specifications (see Chapter 7, Page 42).
1. Switch off all devices.
2. Connect the monitor to the Media / DVI Converter.
3. Connect the source (e.g. computer, video camera or control unit) to
the Media / DVI Converter with the cables supplied. Please ensure
the cables are not strained.
4. Connect the supplied 5VDC power supply to the Media / DVI
Converter.
5. Power up the system.
To power up the system, the following sequence is recommended:
Monitor
– Media / DVI Converter – source.
Always
remove the power supply first, before you connect the
Media / DVI
Converter
to a computer for updating purposes.
