Connection to Two Systems or Video Cards (ie. an IBM
and a Macintosh system)
The MultiSync XP-series monitors were designed to support connection
to two systems or video cards simultaneously. This feature allows you to
use one monitor for two systems and easily select between the two with
the front panel BNC/D-SUB switch.
This configuration requires one of the systems to be connected using
BNC connectors. If your video card did not come with a BNC cable,
one must be purchased from a local computer store.
To attach the monitor to two systems, follow the instructions below.
1. Follow the installation guidelines for IBM- or Macintosh
computers you find on the pages before, to connect the first
system using the supplied MultiCable. This completes the
installation of the first system.
2. Follow the installation guidelines on the page before
(Connections to computers or cards using BNC cables), to
connect the second system.
3. Turn on the monitor and both systems.
4. This completes the installation.
5. Use the BNC/D-SUB switch on the front panel of the monitor
to switch between the systems.
If you have any problems, please refer to the section "Trouble
Shooting".
