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. 

Software Installation

The Vision software (driver and application) is installed by inserting the CD that was shipped with your card 
into your CD ROM drive.  The installation process should start automatically.

Should the CD fail to autorun use Explorer to browse the CD, locate then double click on install.exe file e.g. 
d:/install.exe and click on Install Software… and follow the installation wizard instructions as prompted.

Regular software updates are available from our website:  www.datapath.co.uk
