Connection to Your Personal Computer
The MultiSync A500/A700 color monitor complements NEC computers,
PC compatibles, Macintosh and Macintosh compatibles.
For the PC:
Your system has one of two configurations:
–the video controller is built into the computer
–the video controller is in the form of a display card (sometimes
referred to as the graphics card, video adapter or graphics board)
Both configurations have a video connector (or a CRT PORT on laptop
computers). If you are not sure which port is the video connector, please
consult your computer or display card manual.
For the Mac:
With the optional MultiSync Macintosh Cable Adapter, the MultiSync
A500/A700 color monitor is compatible with Macintosh computers, as
well as Macintosh clones.
NOTE: Power Macintosh 6100/60 users need to use the Apple HDI-45
cable adapter in conjunction with the appropriate MultiSync Cable
Adapter when connecting a MultiSync monitor.
The MultiSync Macintosh Cable Adapter allows you to change between
640 x 480, 832 x 624, 1024 x 768 and 1152 x 870 (A700) screen resolutions
without restarting your system, if the video port supports these modes. You
will connect your MultiSync A500/A700 monitor one of two ways to your
Macintosh computer:
–On-board video port
–NuBus, PDS or PCI display card
Both configurations should have the same style video connector. If you
are not sure which port is the video connector, please consult your
computer or display card manual.
Please contact your local dealer for information about the Mac Adapter.
