XP. to all popular video monitors. Displays provided with a Digital Visual Interface The CV1-AMBIENT is a 3U Eurocard. For use (typically flat panel TFT style screens) can be within 6U CPCI card cages, EKF offers the connected to the DVI receptacle (Primary CR9-ADAPT, a mechanical kit for the front Display).
Differential Signaling), Single Link. Though DVI-I preserves some pins for analog signals, these pins are NC on the CV1-AMBIENT, resulting in a functionality identical to DVI-D (D = digital). The DVI-I (I = integrated analog and digital) receptacle however allows use of both, DVI-I and DVI-D cables and accessories at your convenience.

Technical Information CV1-AMBIENT • CPCI Graphics Adapter Technical Reference - Jumper Fields and Connectors Caution Some of the connectors provide operating voltage (e.g. 5V and 12V) to devices inside the system chassis, such as fans and internal peripherals. Not all of these connectors are overcurrent protected.
Technical Information CV1-AMBIENT • CPCI Graphics Adapter DispConfB The jumper field DispConfB is provided to match closely the properties of an attached TFT- display. Please note: DispConfB settings are entirely ignored if any jumper is set to DispConfA. The factory default setting is described below (positions marked red = jumper set, all others removed).
Technical Information CV1-AMBIENT • CPCI Graphics Adapter The Jumpers 11:10 of DispConfB define the screen resolution delivered by the CV1-AMBIENT. Do not confuse the settings described in the jumper table below with the screen resolution selected from your operating system.
Technical Information CV1-AMBIENT • CPCI Graphics Adapter Primary Display Port - DVI-I Receptacle Though DVI-I preserves some pins for analog signals, these pins are NC on the CV1-AMBIENT, resulting in a functionality identical to DVI-D (D = digital). The DVI-I (I = integrated analog and digital) receptacle however allows use of both, DVI-I and DVI-D cables and accessories at your convenience.
Technical Information CV1-AMBIENT • CPCI Graphics Adapter Video Outputs Due to lack of free space in the cards front panel, the video connectors are mounted in the middle of the board, thus suitable for internal wiring or open experimental card frames.
Technical Information CV1-AMBIENT • CPCI Graphics Adapter BIOS Socket There are several packaging options for the integrated video BIOS. If contained in a Flash EEPROM, the BIOS is soldered directly to the board and cannot removed and changed without appropriate desoldering equipment. Provided as an alternate footprint, a DIP-32 socket allows for inserting of an EPROM (either 28 or 32-pin Jedec style, e.g.
Technical Information CV1-AMBIENT • CPCI Graphics Adapter Board Identification The board designation is provided on a label, attached to the CPCI connector J1, including the boards serial number. Please do not remove this label, it is required for warranty and repair.
