Page 7: General Description
+5V 500 mA constant current output on each DVI OUTPUT to power long distance fiber optical cables. Universal power adaptor – DA2DVI-Pro is equipped with a universal +5V power adaptor, which accepts AC voltages from 100 to 240 Volts with 50 or 60 Hz line frequency. -
Page 8: Advanced Edid Management
The EDID emulated on the input can be copied from the DA2DVI-Pro's memory (static EDID emulation) or from the attached monitor (dynamic EDID emulation). For example, the DA2DVI-Pro can be set up to emulate the device, which is connected to DVI OUTPUT 1, and the EDID automatically changes, if the monitor is replaced with another display device (as long as it has a valid EDID). - Page 9 DA2DVI-Pro User’s Manual Rev. 1.3 Inter-pair skew: skew between two differential wire pairs in a cable. It’s caused by different wire pair lengths or different number of twists in the DVI cable. Too much inter-pair skew results in color shift in the picture or sync loss.

Page 10: Fiber Cable Powering
1.5. Fiber Cable powering As special feature DA2DVI-Pro is able to supply 500 mA current to power fiber optical transmitters like DVI-OPT-TX100 (Pin 14 on both DVI output connectors). Standard DVI outputs or VGA cards supply only 55 mA current on +5V output, thus unable to directly power a fiber optical cable. -

(crosspoint area) appears according to the input and output numbers of the device. For DA2DVI-Pro, I1 column represents the input, O1 and O2 rows represent the outputs. Regardless of the fact that a crosspoint switching area appears, the input signal is always routed to both outputs by default. -
Page 20: Edid Menu
When the user enters the menu for the first time, the software starts to download the whole EDID content from the DA2DVI-Pro. It may take about 10-20 seconds. After the list is downloaded, the current status of the EDID list is shown in two windows (list window areas). - Page 21 Drag and drop the selected EDID to the desired User Memory location. Load EDID from file to memory The DA2DVI-Pro is able to learn and store EDID from a file located on the computer. EDID are stored in *.dat files.
