The GefenTV Dual Link DVI to Mini DP Converter

The GefenTV Dual Link DVI to Mini DP Converter works with all Mac and PC computers using dual link DVI graphics
supporting resolutions up to 2560x1600. It is designed as an easy, plug and play solution for viewing DVI dual link
video using the Mini DisplayPort interface with audio support. The GefenTV Dual Link DVI to Mini DP Converter can
also be used with displays using standard DisplayPort connections with a passive Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort
cable. Audio support is provided through the built-in 3.5 mm audio connector. The audio output is fed through the
Mini DP Out connector on the unit. An EDID switch button is provided for manually selecting the three EDID modes:
2560x1600, 2560x1440, or pass-through. The unit is powered using the included USB cable..

How It Works

Connect your dual link DVI source to the GefenTV Dual Link DVI to Mini DP Converter using a dual link DVI cable
to the unit’s DVI In connector. Using a Mini DisplayPort cable (sold separately), connect the cable from the unit’s
Mini DP Out jack to the display’s Mini DisplayPort input (or DisplayPort input: With a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort
adapter, also sold separately). Use the EDID button on the front panel to cycle through the three different EDID
modes: 2560x1600, 2560x1440, or pass-through. Select the appropriate EDID mode based on the capabilities of the
display attached. The specifi c EDID Mode LED will light up to indicate which mode is selected. Connect the USB
cable (included) from your computer’s USB port to the unit’s USB (USB For Power) jack.

OPERATION NOTES

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR

OPERATING THE GEFENTV DUAL LINK DVI TO MINI DP CONVERTER

• EDID contains the capabilities of a display device in regards to audio and video resolutions. This
information is used by the source device to determine the format of the output signal. The GefenTV
Dual Link DVI to Mini DP Converter has advanced EDID management features to ensure complete
compatibility with all sources and display devices. The pass-through EDID (Mode 3) is used by
default. See page 9 for more details.
