The GefenTV Dual Link DVI to Mini DP Converter 

The GefenTV Dual Link DVI to Mini DP Converter works with all Mac and PC computers using dual link DVI graphics 

supporting resolutions up to 2560x1600. It is designed as an easy, plug and play solution for viewing DVI dual link 

video using the Mini DisplayPort interface with audio support. The GefenTV Dual Link DVI to Mini DP Converter can 

also be used with displays using standard DisplayPort connections with a passive Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort 

cable.  Audio support is provided through the built-in 3.5 mm audio connector. The audio output is fed through the 

Mini DP Out connector on the unit. An EDID switch button is provided for manually selecting the three EDID modes: 

2560x1600, 2560x1440, or pass-through. The unit is powered using the included USB cable..

 

How It Works 

Connect your dual link DVI source to the GefenTV Dual Link DVI to Mini DP Converter using a dual link DVI cable 

to the unit’s DVI In connector.  Using a Mini DisplayPort cable (sold separately), connect the cable from the unit’s 

Mini DP Out jack to the display’s Mini DisplayPort input (or DisplayPort input: With a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort 

adapter, also sold separately). Use the EDID button on the front panel to cycle through the three different EDID 

modes: 2560x1600, 2560x1440, or pass-through. Select the appropriate EDID mode based on the capabilities of the 

display attached. The specific EDID Mode LED will light up to indicate which mode is selected.  Connect the USB 

cable (included) from your computer’s USB port to the unit’s USB (USB For Power) jack.
