Monitor Compatibility
The HDP3 is designed to work with most DVI-D monitors. HDMI monitors are
also supported with a standard, inexpensive DVI-to-HDMI cable or adapter (user
supplied). The HDP3 uses the industry standard EDID communication protocol
(within the DVI or HDMI link) to communicate with the monitor, and then adjust
the HDP3’s internal scaling engine to scale the input video to the native resolution
of the monitor. However, due to the hundreds of variations of DVI formats
currently in use, proper operation with all monitors cannot be guaranteed.
To ensure the greatest compatibility with today's available digital display devices,
the HDP3 will, by default, provide VESA or CEA standard timing.
Frame Locking
Auto
Use this mode to ensure greatest compatibility with other monitors. The HDP3
will use standardized output timing for most monitors. If the attached monitor
(such as an HP DreamColor) is recognized as having enhanced capabilities, then
special, frame-locked timing will be used.
Manual
Selecting an output frame rate that matches the input frame rate will provide a
vertically locked signal to the monitor, and may yield the best results. Note that
not all monitors will be able to accept these signals.
