5 Installation

Since the MSD has various types of I/O connectors, make sure that shapes of the cables and connectors
match when connecting cables. If you try to connect them forcibly to an unmatched cable and connector, they
might be damaged. If turning on the MSD in that situation, the MSD and display devices may be damaged. Be
sure to plug cables completely and install them without any stress on the cables.

For digital I/O, the MSD has the cable equalizing circuit (for output, only OUT A) to correct distorted signals
when a long cable is connected. The amount of equalization for the input side is set automatically, but do set
the amount for the output side using the following menu settings: "7.7.1 Output equalizer [OUTPUT
EQUALIZER]"

*Extension distance depends on the connected I/O devices. The range mentioned above is the
maximum extension range acquired when IDK's AWG24 cable is used and signals of 1080p 60 Hz, 24
bit/pixel (8bit/component) is input or output. For some I/O combinations, and if you use cables of other
manufacturer, video may be disturbed or may not be output even if signals are within the range
mentioned above.
