Connecting Your PC Or Macintosh Computer

Connecting your PC or Macintosh computer to your MultiSync MT830 (SVGA)/1030 (XGA) Projector will enable you to project your computer's screen image for an impressive presen- tation. All of these following display standards are supported:

VGA 640×480 for graphics	VGA 640×400 for graphics
VGA 640×350 for graphics	VGA 720×400 for text
VGA 720×350 for text	SuperVGA 800×600

XGA1024×768	Macintosh at 1024×768

SXGA1280×1024 (AccuBlend)

To connect to a PC, Macintosh or computer equipped with an XGA/SVGA /VGA adapter or compatible graphics adapter, simply:

1.Turn off the power to your projector and computer.

2.If your PC does not support XGA/SVGA/VGA you will need to install an XGA/SVGA/VGA graphics board. Consult your computer's owner's manual for your XGA/SVGA/VGA con- figuration. If you need to install a new board, see the manual that comes with your new graphics board for installation instructions.

3.Use the signal cable that's supplied to connect your PC or Macintosh computer to the projector. For a Macintosh, use the supplied pin adapter to connect to your Mac's video port.

4.Turn on the projector and the computer.

5.If the projector goes blank after a period of inactivity, it may be caused by a screen saver installed on the computer you've connected to the projector.

When using a Macintosh with the MT830/1030, set the DIP switches of the supplied pin adapter according to your resolu- tion. After setting, restart your Macintosh.

See the following pages for setting of the DIP switches.

•When using with a Macintosh, XGA/VGA/SVGA is recom- mended if your Macintosh supports this mode.

•When using with a Macintosh PowerBook, output may not be set to 1024×768 unless “mirroring” is off on your PowerBook. Refer to owner’s manual supplied with your Macintosh computer for mirroring.

NOTE: A Video Adapter cable manufactured by Apple Com- puter is needed for a PowerBook which does not have a mini D- Sub 15-pin connector.

Make sure that the MT830/1030 and your Macintosh are connected with the pin adapter and the supplied signal cable (mini D-Sub 15- pin connector) and then restart your Macintosh.
