The MultiSync XV17+ 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 formof a display card (sometimes
referred to as the graphicscard, 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 XV17+ Macintosh Cable Adapter, the
MultiSync XV17+ 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 XV17+ Macintosh Cable Adapter allows you to change
between 640 x 480, 832 x 624, 1024 x 768 and 1152 x 870 screen
resolutions without restarting your system, if the video port supports
these modes. You will connect your MultiSync XV17+ 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.
