Firmware Upgrades
The VisionDVI-DL card allows firmware upgrades to be completed on site rather than returning the card to
Datapath. Whenever a firmware upgrade is performed,
LK1 MUST BE FITTED on the VisionDVI-DL
. To
perform the upgrade, follow the step-by-step instructions provided by the upgrade application.
In the unlikely event that something goes wrong during the upgrade process (e.g. System power outage) it
is possible to revert to the factory settings by powering down the system, temporarily removing LK1 then
powering up the system with the link removed. Once the system has rebooted, replace the LK1 link (whilst
the system is powered up) and restart the firmware upgrade process.
Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) - Disable Links
EDID is data provided by a display monitor and sent to the graphics device detailing monitors capabilities
thereby enabling a system to identify the type of monitor that is attached.
The graphics device installed on your machine will see the card as a monitor and will expect to receive the
EDID data from the card.
However, in rare circumstances it may be necessary that the VisionDVI-DL does not report an EDID of any
kind. In this instance EDID support can be disabled by removing link LK2.
Removing the LK2 link on the VisionDVI-DL card will disable the EDID function.
