FAQ

I want to display images from 2 PCs simultaneously.

By installing an "RGB Input Unit" (an optional product) to a GP unit, you can display images outputted from 2 PCs (supporting analog RGB only) onto one GP unit simultaneously. Also you can use a GP unit as a PC monitor.

NOTE

*	For the information on models on which an RGB unit can be installed, see GP3000 Series RGB Input Unit Hardware Manual.
