2 Matrox graphics card – User Guide
Hardware installation
This section describes how to install your Matrox card. If your Matrox graphics card is already
installed in your computer, skip to “Standard (ATX) connection setup”, page 6 or “Low-profile
connection setup”, page 10. For information specific to your computer, like how to remove its cover,
see your system manual.
WA R N I NG :
To avoid personal injury and to prevent damage to your computer or Matrox
hardware, turn off your computer, unplug it, and then wait for it to cool before you install
your Matrox product and touch any of the internal parts of your computer.
While your computer is turned off but still plugged in, some electrical current is supplied
to the motherboard. This current may prevent newly installed hardware from working
properly.
Also, static electricity can severely damage electronic parts. Before touching any electronic
parts, drain static electricity from your body (for example, by touching the metal frame of
your computer). When handling a card, carefully hold it by its edges and avoid touching
its circuitry.
Note:
If your Matrox product supports stereo output
and you want to use a stereo-output bracket (provided
with some Matrox products), you need to connect your
stereo-output bracket to your graphics card. For more
information, see “Stereo output”, page 20.
Note:
Matrox low-profile graphics cards ship with standard (ATX) brackets compatible
with most systems. If you have a low-profile system, you may need to change the standard
bracket on your graphics card to a low-profile bracket. For more information, see
“Replacing brackets on a low-profile graphics card”, page 5.

Most computers have different types of
expansion slots. Choose an AGP, PCI, or PCI
Express (PCIe) ×16 or ×1 slot, depending on
the type of Matrox card you have. If you
have a PCI card, your card supports both
64-bit and 32-bit PCI slots. Your system
manual should identify the location of each
type of expansion slot in your computer.

Step-by-step connection setup
1Connect the first monitor
Connect your preferred monitor to the main
connector (
A
) on your Matrox graphics
card.
If your monitor has a DVI connector,
connect it directly to the main connector of
your graphics card.
If your monitor has an HD-15 connector,
use the DVI-to-HD15 adapter included with
your Matrox product to connect your
monitor to the main connector.
WA R N I NG :
Don’t change monitor connections while your computer is turned on. While
your computer is turned on, it may be using monitor settings that are specific to the current
monitor connections.
Some
devices may be permanently damaged if incorrect settings are
used.
Note:
Whenever you change your connection setup, make sure you’re using the correct
connectors and that all connectors are properly fastened.
Whenever you restart your computer, make sure your monitors are already turned on.
Otherwise, the software may not be able to properly detect your monitors.
Note:
If you want to use 3 monitors at a
time and one of these needs to use a DVI
connector, that monitor must be
connected to the main connector.

2Connect the second monitor
If your second monitor uses a DVI
connector, connect it directly to the
secondary connector (
B
) of your graphics
card.
If your second monitor uses an HD-15
connector, you can use a dual-monitor cable
(included with certain Matrox products) or
a DVI-to-HD15 adapter. To use 3 monitors
at a time, a dual-monitor cable is required.
If you use a dual-monitor cable, connect it
to the secondary connector on your graphics
card, then connect your monitor to
connector
1
on the dual-monitor cable. If
you’re going to connect the TV output
adapter, connect your computer monitor to
connector
2
instead.
3Connect the third monitor
If you want to use 3 computer monitors at a
time and your Matrox product supports it,
your second and third monitors must use
HD-15 connectors. Connect your third
monitor to connector

Windows desktop. For more information, see Matrox PowerDesk help.
Note:
To connect a TV or video recorder to your graphics
card, you need a TV output adapter (included with
certain Matrox products). The TV output adapter

1Turn off computer
Before you connect your Matrox product, make sure you shut down your system and turn off
your computer.
If your Matrox product supports TV output, you can use the TV
output adapter to connect a video recorder or a TV to your
Matrox graphics card. This adapter is only included with certain
Matrox products. To purchase a Matrox TV output adapter for
your product, see the Matrox online store
(http://shopmatrox.com).

Optionally, if you use the composite video
and
S-video connectors on your Matrox TV
adapter, you can directly connect two different video devices at the same time.
To view
and
record output from the same Matrox video connector, you can connect it to a
video recorder and connect the video recorder to a TV. For more information, see your video
recorder and TV manuals.
4Connect audio output
Typically, the sound output from a
computer comes from speakers connected
to your sound card. If you prefer, you can
hear or record the sound output from your
computer using the same TV or video
recorder you connect to your graphics card.
To do this, you need an audio cable with a
stereo jack on one end and two RCA
connectors on the other end. If you don’t
have this type of cable, you can buy one at
most consumer electronics stores.
a
Plug the stereo-jack end of the audio
cable into the
LINE OUT
*
( )
connector on your sound card.
b
Plug the other end of the cable into the left (
L
) and right (
R
)
AUDIO IN
connectors of
your video device. For more information, see your sound card manual.
* The labels on your devices may not be consistent with what’s in this guide. Different manufacturers sometimes use different labels
for the same type of controls and connectors. For example, the
VIDEO IN
connector on your TV may be labeled
VIDEO 1
(or
VIDEO
2
). To match labels, see the documentation for your video devices.
† If your TV only has an antenna or cable TV connector, you can use an
RF modulator
to connect it to your Matrox card. RF
modulators are available at most electronics stores.
* If your computer has no audio
LINE OUT
connector, you can use its
SPKR
(speaker) connector instead. In this case, all your
computer sound output goes to the video device you connected to.
