2.5.1 Passive 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.

2.5.2 Active Single-Link Dongle
About
Barco Display Controllers are not compatible with third-party active single-link dongles. Please use Barco
passive Single-Link dongles.
2.5.3 Active 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.
When using QAWeb software for calibration and quality assurance of a display connected through a
Dual-Link dongle, a USB cable must also be connected to the display.
