*Note for computers connected to the HDTV Matrix - When your computer  
boots up, it looks for an EDID (extended display identication data) from the dis-  
play to tell it what monitor is connected and what resolution to output. During boot  
up of the computer you should have ONLY one output selected to one input at a  
time so that the computer gets the EDID of the display that is selected. If you have  
multiple outputs selected to one computer, the computer will read the EDID of the  
last output selected to it. If all your displays are the same, or all displays are ca-  
pable of running at the same resolution then this step does not matter.  
You can also use a DVI Detective to illiminate the need to have that matrix selected  
to the computer during bootup.

on the remote will ash once each time you press a button. WARNING: Do not press  
multiple buttons simultaneously and do NOT press buttons rapidly. These actions will

TERMINOLOGY  
DDC  
Short form for Display Data Channel. It is a VESA standard for communication between  
a monitor and a video adapter. Using DDC, a monitor can inform the video card about its  
properties, such as maximum resolution and color depth. The video card can then use  
this information to ensure that the user is presented with valid options for conguring the  
display.  
DDWG  
Digital Display Working Group DDWG are the creators of the DVI specication.  
DVI  
Digital Visual Interface. Connection standard developed by Intel for connecting computers  
to digital monitors such as at panels and DLP projectors. Aconsumer electronics version,  
not necessarily compatible with the PC version, is used as a connection standard for HDTV  
tuners and displays. Transmits an uncompressed digital signal to the display. The latter  
version uses HDCP copy protection to prevent unauthorized copying.  
HDCP  
High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection. Created by Intel, HDCP is used with HDTV  
signals over DVI and HDMI connections and on D-Theater D-VHS recordings to prevent  
unauthorized duplication of copy written material.  
HDMI  
The High-Denition Multi-media Interface (HDMI) is an industry-supported, uncompressed,  
all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between any compatible digital  
audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, andA/V receiver and a compatible  
digital audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV).  
HDTV  
High-Denition Television. The high-resolution subset of our DTV system. TheATSC denes  
HDTV as a 16:9 image with twice the horizontal and vertical resolution of our existing system,  
accompanied by 5.1 channels of Dolby Digital audio. The CEA denes HDTV as an image  
with 720 progressive or 1080 interlaced active (top to bottom) scan lines. 1280:720p and  
1920:1080i are typically accepted as high-denition scan rates.  
RS-232  
Recommended Standard 232. This is the de facto standard for communication through PC  
serial ports. It can refer to cables and ports that support the RS232 standard.  
VESA  
Video Electronic StandardsAssociation, a consortium of manufacturers formed to establish  
and maintain industry wide standards for video cards and monitors. VESAwas instrumental  
in the introduction of the Super VGA and Extended VGA video graphics standards with  
a refresh rate of 70 Hz, minimizing icker and helping to reduce user eyestrain and  
fatigue.
