DiplayPort
(Note 1)(Note 3)
DisplayPort is one of the new generation interface technologies that delivers high quality digital imaging
and audio, supporting bi-directional audio transmition. DisplayPort can support both DPCP and HDCP
content protection mechanisms. Connect the audio/video device that supports DisplayPort to this port. The
DisplayPort Technology can support a maximum resolution of 2560x1600p but the actual resolutions sup-
ported depend on the monitor being used.
After installing the DisplayPort device, make sure the default device for sound playback is the Dis-
playPort device. (The item name may differ from operating system. For example, in Windows Vista,
go to Start>Control Panel>Sound>Playback and set the DisplayPort device as the default play-
back device. Refer to the HDMI settings information on the previous page for the configuration
dialog box.)
