Matrox Productiva G100 Multi-Monitor Series – User Guide

6

Connect your monitors

a

Attach your Matrox dual-monitor 
adapters

*

 to the connectors on the bracket 

of your Matrox MMS card. Make sure the 
adapters snap into place.

If you have an MMS-Quad card with a 
TV tuner, connect the dual-monitor 
adapter with the composite video (RCA) 
connector to the

 

connector on the upper 

part of the bracket (

#1/#2

).

b

Plug your monitor cables into the dual-
monitor adapters. Make sure the 
connectors are firmly in place. Monitors 
are numbered consecutively based on 
which connector each is attached to. 
Numbering starts with the primary display 
– 
the one that first displays information 
when you restart your computer. 

c

Make sure the other end of each monitor 
cable is properly connected to its monitor. 
See your monitor manuals for more 
information.

Your Matrox card is now installed. If your Matrox product includes a TV tuner, connect your 
external devices before restarting your computer (

see “Connection setup”, page 11

). After 

connecting your external devices, restart your computer and install your Matrox software (

see 

“Software installation”, page 15

).

* Only one dual-monitor adapter is included with Matrox MMS-Dual cards.
