Connecting to other types of display
Time Sleuth offers a single HDMI output hich allo s it to connect to the vast majority of modern
displays. By using a simple adapter, other types of display can also be tested.
If your display has a digital DVI port, then any simple passive adapter ill ork perfectly ith the
Time Sleuth and give accurate results. Passive HDMI to DVI adapters are idely available and
should cost only a fe euros or dollars.
If your display has only analogue RGB inputs, such as a D-Sub 15 (VGA), Component Video
(YpbPr) or BNC RGB connector, you ill need to use a digital to analogue converter. Be a are that
some of these converters, particularly the more sophisticated ones hich include image processing,
can add input lag.
The follo ing HDMI to VGA adapters are confirmed as being lag free and are therefore ideal for
use ith Time Sleuth:-

Troubleshooting
If you are unable to get a picture from your Time Sleuth, try a different po er supply. If your
display has only USB1 ports, it is likely that they are not supplying enough ampage to po er the
unit.
If you are using an HDMI to analogue video converter, try attaching a PSU to the converter if this is
supported.
If you cannot get an accurate reading from your display, try one or more of the follo ing:-
•Decrease the back light setting on your display
•Decrease ambient light in the room, close curtains and turn off lighting
•Hold the Time Sleuth at a different angle, as much as 90 degrees may be necessary on some
monitors
If you are using Time Sleuth to calibrate for lip sync delay and the lip sync still appears to be badly
matched, check that your TV or other equipment is not performing any kind of automatic
calibration (e.g HDMI ARC).
