Connecting an external monitor to MX700

An external monitor can be used to display content or
presentations (presented locally or received from far-end).
The codec and monitor must be connected and set up as
described below.
For a full description of each settings, refer to the
► System settings chapter.
You must remove the video system's left side cover to
get access to the codec connector panel. The cover
is fastened with magnets.
1. Connect an external monitor
i. Switch off the system.
The power button is located directly below the codec
connector panel.
ii. Connect the monitor as shown in the illustration.
Use Connector 3 (DVI-I) for video and an Audio Line
output for audio.
iii. Switch on the system, and wait while the system starts
up.

Use the Video > Monitors
the external monitor.
Choose TriplePresentationOnly to allow presentations on the
external monitor.
If the setting is kept at Dual (default), all participants and
content will be distributed on the two integrated monitors,
and nothing will be shown on the external monitor.
Do NOT use TriplePresentationOnly if no external monitor is
connected. Presentations will fail to display.

These connectors are used
for the integrated monitors.
Do not disconnect!
3. Set the monitor resolution and refresh rate
The codec will read the native resolution of a monitor and
output this if possible. Typically, this will give the best
possible picture for the connected monitor.
If auto-detection of resolution and refresh rate fails, you
have to set resolution manually using the
Connector 3 > Resolution setting.
