Will a JPAC prevent damage to arcade monitor?

[MartyNg]

I'm getting ready to hook my laptop into my shiny new JPAC, and into my cabinet w/Arcade monitor. I know that I still have LOTS of research to do regarding proper resolutions/scan rates, and stuff like that, but I'm too excited to spend days researching right now! 

Is it true that the JPAC will block any harmful signals before they get to the monitor? (Wells Gardner 25") Will I just have to deal with distortion/picture cropping/no image until I figure out how to configure all the video aspects of an arcade monitor?

I'm excited to try some games out, even if they look a little wonky for now! Can I hook this thing up or what?! Thanks so much for your help!

from my experiance, yes the jpac will filter out harmful signals, but I think that there are some better authories on the jpac out there that could give a more definite answer.

Here is a quote from the Ultimarc Page in reference to the jpac:

"Custom microcontroller only allows sync signals to be sent to the monitor if they are in the correct range that the monitor is designed for. Avoids driving the monitor with a too-high horizontal sync rate which can damage some arcade monitors."

Can your laptop put out a 15KHz signal ? If not, your excitement could end in dissapointment.

Still trying to figure out how to figure that out.
