    Optional scan converter card C2N-MMS-SC allows RGB signals to be switched to video output devices Selectable sync impedance is only available on C2N-MMS devices with the part number 6003312 on the manufacturing label located on the bottom of the unit. Units labeled with 6001581 do not have this feature.
  • Page 6 C2N-MMS has a selectable feature (DDC) that simulates the presence of a generic high-resolution monitor so RGB sources (such as a laptop computer) will transmit a signal even when a RGB device is not connected to the C2N-MMS output. NOTE: Selectable sync impedance and the DDC feature are only available on C2N-MMS devices with the part number 6003312 on the manufacturing label located on the bottom of the unit.
