4.4.2 FOR APPLE MACINTOSH COMPATIBLECOMPUTERS
For an Apple Macintosh compatible computer outputting Apple type video on a DB15 connector, the Server
Cable you’ll need will be labeled KV2220, KV2225, KV2230, KV2240, KV2260, or KV2280 depending on the
options you ordered (see Table 4-2 at the start of Section 4.4). The cable will have these computer-end
connectors:
KV2220, KV2225, and KV2240, KV2260 and
KV2230 Cables will have: KV2280 Cables will have:
DB15 Male DB15 Male 4-Pin Mini-DIN Male
to Mac Video Port to Mac Video Port to ADB Port
4-Pin Mini-DIN Male RCA Male (Mono) RCA Male (Stereo)
to ADB Port to Audio In Port to Audio Out Port
(blue band)
For a newer Mac compatible computer outputting VGA type video on an HD15 connector, the Server Cable
you’ll need will be labeled KV2920, KV2925, etc., instead of KV2220, KV2225, etc. (see Table 4-2). Rather than a
DB15 male connector as shown above, the cable will have an HD15 male VGA connector as shown in
Section 4.4.1. (Otherwise, the two types of cable are identical.)
To install your cable and computer at each chosen computer channel, first plug the Server Cable’s HD44
connector into the matching connector on the CPU-Interface Card. When you’re sure the connection is firmly
seated, secure it by tightening the associated thumbscrews.
Now power down the computer and plug the connectors at the end of the Mac style Server Cable’s video-port
and ADB port strands into the appropriate ports on your Mac compatible computer. If the Server Cable is an
audio type, it will have two additional connectors: RCA plugs for a mono audio input and stereo output. Attach
these to any appropriate audio ports or equipment as desired.
