Note: If the MDCIM or MDUTP cable you purchase is not compatible with the video port on your computer, the alternative solution is to use a video converter or adapter to connect MDCIM or MDUTP.

Computer Connection

One-tier Connection

• Plug the MDCIM or MDUTP cable's USB connectors into one of the computer's USB ports.
• Plug the MDCIM or MDUTP cable's video connectors into the computer's video ports.
• Optionally, plug the MDUTP cable's audio connector into the computer's audio output port.
• Connect the MDCIM to MCD-DUAL by using a standard network patch cable (Cat5e/6 UTP). The MDUTP is combined with a standard network patch cable; you can use it to connect with MCD-DUAL directly.
• Repeat the above steps to connect more computers.

Note:

Please make sure the MDCIM or MDUTP must connect to the same channel of MCD-DUAL.

The signals of USB keyboard/mouse and audio are transmitted via "RJ45 Port A" only.

For single-monitor connection, please make sure the MDCIM or MDUTP must connect to "RJ45 Port A".

For both single-monitor and dual-monitor connections, please make sure the computer's audio output is set for the MDCIM or MDUTP which is connected to "RJ45 Port A".
