Next, use a DVI cable to connect the DVI Out port to your DVI display. Secure the included 12V DC locking power supply to the unit and plug it into an available electrical outlet; the power indicator LED will illuminate in blue to confirm the unit is active. Once a video signal is present, you can press the Menu button on the unit to access the On-Screen Display (OSD), which allows you to navigate and adjust all video settings using the Up and Dn buttons to perfectly match the source to your display.
