Other I/O Ports and Connectors 2
Both the AppleVision 11710AV and 1710 Display have an ADB port on both side panels.
These ports allow you to connect a mouse or keyboard directly to the left side of the
display
The AppleVision 1710AV display also has the following sound ports:
■ a sound input port, on the left panel, allows you to connect an external microphone or
other sound source to the display
■
a sound output port, on the right panel, allows you to connect speakers or
headphones to the display
ADB Ports 2
The ADB ports are standard connectors. For ADB port specifications see “ADB Port and
Connector” on page 22.
Note
The ADB ports on the side panels of the display are used to connect
ADB devices, like the mouse and keyboard. The ADB I/O cable is used
to transfer audio and video control data between the Macintosh
computer and the display.
◆
Sound Ports and Adapter 2
The sound ports are found only on the AppleVision 1710AV Display. The sound output
port is used for headphones or external speakers. The sound input port accepts sound
inputs from a microphone or any appropriate sound source. These ports are both stereo
ports, but they use single ministereo audio connectors. You must make sure that the
connector you use for audio input or output is compatible with your sound equipment.
For example, if you are connecting to a device that uses dual (RCA-type) connectors for
stereo sound, use a “Y” adapter to connect the stereo ports of the sound source or
speakers to the display’s single-connector stereo port. Figure 2-4 shows the sound
adapter configuration.
