Matrox Millennium G550

If your Matrox card has 2 DVI connectors,
use a DVI-to-HD15 adapter to connect the
TV output adapter to the secondary DVI
connector (B) of your graphics card.
3 Connect video output
To connect to a TV or a video recorder, you’ll
need a composite video (RCA) or S-video
cable.
If your video device (a TV or a video
recorder) didn’t come with one of these
cables, these types of cable are available at
most electronics stores. The type of cable
you use depends on what your video device
supports. Many video devices support
composite video connections, and some
higher-quality video devices support
S-video connections.
a Attach one end of your composite video
or S-video cable to the appropriate
connector on your TV adapter.
b Attach the other end to the VIDEO IN *
connector on your TV † or video
recorder.
c Before viewing or recording video
output directly from your computer,
make sure your TV or video recorder is
set up to use line input. For example, if
your TV has a TV/VIDEO switch, set it to
VIDEO; or if your video recorder has a
TUNER/LINE switch, set it to LINE.

* 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.
