of the Display Controller to the DisplayPort input of the display. You cannot connect the DVI output of a
Display Controller to the DisplayPort input of a display.
2.5Dongles
About
Barco dongles are designed to allow Barco Display Controllers with
with only a DVI input. Most current Barco displays support direct DisplayPort connection.
If video cable conversion is not required, you may bypass this section.
Barco dongles are available for purchase independently.
2.5.1Passive Single-Link Dongle
About
The passive Single-Link Dongle converts DisplayPort input signals to single-link DVI output signals. It is
compatible with all Barco grayscale displays and up to 2MP color models. For color displays of 3MP and
greater resolutions, the Dual-Link Dongle is necessary.

2.5.3Active Dual-Link Dongle
About
The active Dual-Link Dongle converts DisplayPort input signals to dual-link DVI output signals. Unlike the
passive Single-Link dongle, the Dual-Link dongle allows higher resolutions (greater than 1920x1200) on
color displays.
USB calibration must be used when connecting a display through a Dual-Link dongle.

3.1Introduction
About
This chapter will guide you through the installation of the drivers, software and documentation associated
with your Barco Display System or Barco Display Controller(s).
Prerequisites
Before starting the installation of the Barco drivers, software and documentation following prerequisites

- Windows 10 (64-bit)
•You must be logged on as a user with administrator privileges.
•All Barco displays must be connected to the appropriate Display Controller(s) in your system.
For optimal system performance, Barco recommends installing no more than two
drivers on a system at one time. If the configuration will require three drivers, the Barco
Driver Installer will alert the user to replace one board to eliminate one of the drivers.
•When there is a non-Barco board in the system, you must first ins

After each driver installation, you should reboot the system before proceeding with the
installation of another driver.
You will need to install the Barco Display Controller system drivers and software in the following cases:
•After you have installed the Barco Display Controller(s) for your Barco Display System in your system
for the first time.
•After you have reinstalled or upgraded your operating system.
•When upgrading to a newer version of the MXRT driver and software, manual uninstallation of the
prior version is not necessary. The Barco Product Installation Wizard will detect any prior installations
and start the uninstallation process automatically.
