Special Applications

This section describes some special types of applications that represent unique conditions. 
For the MGP Pro to operate properly in these situations, it is important that it be configured 
correctly. On the following pages, two application examples are described, along with their 
requirements for the MGP 464 Pro. Topics include:

• 

Application 1: Connecting the MGP Pro to a Matrix Switcher

• 

Application 2: Connecting Multiple MGP Pros in Succession (Daisy-chaining)
