6 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.

6.1 Connecting Digital Input/Output Devices

For digital I/O, the HDMI output connectors are employed. These connectors can be connected not only to
HDMI devices but also to DVI devices using HDMI-DVI conversion cables.

For digital I/O, the MSD has the cable equalizing circuit to correct distorted signals when a long cable is
connected. The amount of equalization for the input side is set automatically, but set the amount for the output
side using the following menu settings: "8.7.1 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.
