Cabling the pro-xi 100
This guide provides interconnect diagrams and examples of how to cable single-head and dual-head setups.
Before You Begin
Keep the following in mind when cabling your system:
• If the connected computer systems output a VGA video signal, a VGA-to-DVI-I adapter is required.
• If the connected computer system outputs an HDMI video signal, an HDMI-to-DVI-D adapter is required.
• If the pro-xi 100 outputs are connected to HDMI monitors or KVM TX units that utilize HDMI, then the
appropriate cable or adapter is required.
