DVI Applications for KD-HDRV2X1; KD-HDRV3X1; KD-HDRV4X1

KD-HDRV switchers can also be used with DVI-D sources and displays.  For these applications, 
use DVI to HDMI (Key Digital model number KD-MFHDMI or KD-FMHDMI) adapters.  Note that 
while HDMI supports both video and audio over an HDMI cable, DVI-D supports only video.
