The DP2DVID2 DisplayPort to DVI (Dual-Link) Adapter actively converts the output signal from a DisplayPort video source for use with a DVI-D display (monitor, etc.) or projector, helping to eliminate the equipment costs of upgrading a DVI display to a newer model for the sake of compatibility. The adapter supports high resolution video (up to 2560x1600), maintaining the outstanding graphical performance from a DisplayPort-equipped desktop video card, laptop or MacBook.
