The Gefen DVI Audio to HDMI Adapter

The DVI Audio to HDMI Adapter is a unique device that combines digital video
(DVI) and digital audio into HDMI to seamlessly integrate into modern home
theaters.

How It Works

Simply connect the supplied DVI cable to the input side of the DVI Audio to HDMI
Adapter. Then connect the S/PDIF digital audio cable to the audio input of the
DVI Audio to HDMI Adapter. Now connect the HDMI display or projector to the
HDMI output of the DVI Audio to HDMI Adapter. The adapter encodes digital
audio on to the digital video signal to generate an HDMI signal.

OPERATION NOTES

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR

OPERATING THE DVI AUDIO TO HDMI ADAPTER

• The DVI Audio to HDMI is designed to include a S/PDIF digital audio source
seamlessly integrating it into modern home theater situations.

• The adapter encodes the digital audio onto the digital video signal to generate
the HDMI signal.

• The DVI Audio to HDMI will combine the video and audio stream into an HDMI
signal having separately routed each signal type. The connected HDMI display
will output EDID to the display data channel (DDC.) By default, the EDID used
is from the connected HDMI display. This EDID will carry the required audio
information that the HDMI display needs to ascertain what type of audio will
be output.
