    I want BM ultrascope.
    but,24inch monitor is too big for my desk.
    therefore,I want conect ultrascope to ikan V8000.

    Is conection as below work good?

    “ultrascope DVI-converter-Ikan V8000”

    If Ultrascope work on this conection,V8000 is low rezolusion.
    Can I miximize only vector scope?

    the answer to all your questions is NO. I urge you to download the manual for the Ultrascope and READ IT, or you will fail miserably.
    The Ikan V8000 is a video monitor, it is not a computer monitor with a DVI input. So you cannot use this.

    the Ultrascope requires a specific computer, with a specific graphics card for it to work. It requires a DVI computer monitor that will display 1920×1200. And no, you cannot just select one vectorscope display – you see them all, or nothing.

    If you don’t do everything I told you in this reply, you will spend $660 for an Ultrascope, and nothing will work.

    hi,Bob Zelin.
    thank you for your reply.

    “you cannot just select one vectorscope display – you see them all, or nothing.”

    thank you.it is the information I want.

    “The Ikan V8000 is a video monitor.”
    yes,it is videomonitor.
    threfore,I will test DONW CONVERTER.
    DOWN CONVERTER (ex.xpc-4) can convert DVI(1980×1200) to RCA(640×486).
    DOWN CONVERTER acts the computer monitor(DVI1980x1200).
    I think that I can conect ultrascope to V8000 with DOWN CONVERTER.

    but,donw converted disply is ugly.
    and,ultrascop is “all display mode only”.

    I will buy 24inch LCD monitor. thank you.
