For progressive scan TVs / monitors / projectors with VGA input:
A high quality VGA-to-VGA computer monitor cable should be used to
connect the iScan Pro’s output to devices that can accept progressive
signals through a VGA connector.
For progressive scan TVs / monitors / projectors with BNC input connectors:
Many high-end TVs, monitors and CRT projectors have BNC input
connectors. There are usually either 3, 4 or 5 BNC connectors depending
on how your display device handles synchronization signals. These
connectors are most commonly used for RGB but are sometimes used for
Component (YPbPr) signals as well. A standard VGA-to-BNC breakout
cable can be used to attach the iScan Pro to any projector or television
that has BNC connectors. The connections are shown in
Table 1.
For progressive scan TVs / monitors / projectors with component input:
The most common plug used for Component Video connections consists
of 3 RCA-type jacks. These are the same connectors that are used for
many types of audio connections. VGA-to-RCA cables are very rare so we
recommend using a VGA-to-BNC cable in combination with a set of three
BNC-to-RCA adapters. The red, green and blue BNC connectors should be
used with the adapters and the two remaining wires can be left
unconnected. The connections are as shown in Table 1.
Power Supply
The iScan Pro comes with a universal power supply module that accepts 100–240 VAC at 50/60
Hz. Plug the power supply into the wall outlet and then plug the small round connector into the “DC-
In” jack on the back of the iScan Pro. Only use the power supply that comes shipped with the
iScan Pro. The iScan Pro unit may be damaged if a power supply that does not meet its power
requirement is used.
To meet FCC and EMI guidelines, the iScan Pro power supply comes with a snap-on ferrite collar
similar to those supplied with laptop computers and other portable electronic devices. The ferrite
collar should be snapped on the end of the cable
leading from the power supply to the iScan Pro as
shown in the illustration below. Looping the power
supply cable twice through the ferrite and placing the
ferrite as near the end of the cable as possible will
maximize its effectiveness.
