Video
Video of 24-bit color depth up to a resolution of 1280 x 1024 at 60 Hz is supported by the HMX
1050 user station and HMIQDI transmitter. Both CRT and flat-panel LCD monitors are supported,
and can be connected to the HMX system via a DVI-I video connector. VGA monitors can be
attached to the system by using a DVI to VGA adaptor. The system supports DDC version 2B.

Transmitter features
The transmitter connects externally to the video, audio and USB ports of the remote workstation.
The HMIQDI transmitter is attached directly to the remote workstation and draws its power
directly from two USB ports on the remote workstation. The HMIQDHDD and HMIQSHDI
transmitters are powered by an external power supply.
