About

The MDSC-8231 can have multiple video inputs connected. Switching between the different inputs can be done easily with the Source shortkey ().

Futhermore, if more than one video source is connected, the Picture in Picture and Picture and Picture (PiP/PaP) functionalities become available, allowing you to view 2 different video inputs at once. Refer to “Picture and Picture input” and “Picture in Picture input” for more information.

Beside the video input connections, the MDSC-8231 also has video output capabilities allowing you to loop-through or duplicate all video inputs connected with the MDSC-8231 to another display, projector, video recorder, ...

This chapter describes how to connect the different video interface types to the MDSC-8231.

3. Connect the USB2.0 type B interface with a workstation to use the remote control protocol, to update the display firmware, or to be able to connect any USB peripheral with the USB interfaces of the display.
4. Use any USB peripheral (keyboard, mouse, webcam, ...) by connecting it to the available USB interfaces.
