MGP Pro Daisy-chaining Configuration Examples
Setting up MGPs for Daisy-chaining
To set up one to three MGPs in a daisy-chain formation:
1.
Connect input sources to the MGP Pro to be displayed in the windows.
2.
Connect the HDMI output of the first MGP Pro (the unit farthest from the display) to
the HDMI Background connector of the second MGP Pro. If you are daisy-chaining
three units, connect the HDMI output of the second MGP Pro to the HDMI Background
connector of the third unit (the unit connected to the display).
