Daisy-chain configuration examples

Follow these steps to set up one to three MGPs in a daisy-chain formation:

1. Connect input sources to the MGP to be displayed in the windows.

2. Connect the DVI output of the first MGP to the DVI Background connector of the second MGP. If you are daisy-chaining three units, connect the DVI output of the second MGP to the DVI Background connector of the third unit.
