You can also use a DBHD44-TO-8BNC/O cable if you need to connect to other
signals (such as, special user input and output signals) in addition to RGB video
signals. The DBHD44-TO-8BNC/O cable is an open-ended version of the
DH44-TO-8BNC cable.
Units with Matrox Meteor-II /Digital
To interface video sources to a Matrox Meteor-II /Digital frame grabber (designed
for Matrox 4Sight-M), use one or two VHDCI-TO-OPEN cables to connect to
the unit’s digital video input connectors. These cables have a VHDCI connector
on one side, and are open-ended on the other.
