Programming Convert DVI to stand-alone mode
Before programming Convert DVI to stand-alone mode, make sure that you have
set your Convert DVI desktop resolution to match the resolution of the DVI input
device that you want to use with Convert DVI in stand-alone mode (see
“Configuring your display settings for use with Convert DVI” on page 17).
¦NoteOnly settings that have been applied to your video output will be
programmed to stand-alone mode. Therefore, make sure to click
Apply on any of
the Convert DVI Control Panel pages where you have made changes before
programming to stand-alone mode.
After you have specified and applied your Convert DVI settings to your video
output, you are ready to use your Convert DVI in stand-alone mode. Click
Program Current Settings on the Admin page of the Convert DVI Control
Panel to copy your applied settings to the Convert DVI’s internal memory. The
status window will indicate that programming is in progress, and display
Programmed when the process is complete.
²Caution Do not disconnect the Convert DVI’s USB cable or power cord until
the programming process is complete. Doing so may damage your Convert DVI
hardware.
