Introduction & Features
Thank you for purchasing the LINDY Display over Gigabit Adapter. This Quick guide refers to two similar
adapters used to output video to remote monitors connected via Gigabit Ethernet (HDMI with integrated sound
support No. 38080, and DVI & Audio No.38081). Up to 6 additional monitors each connected to one adapter
can be used as additional standard Windows monitor in extended desktop mode or up to three pairs of mirrored
desktop. Each desktop can only be mirrored once. When using different video streams, fluent video
performance may be limited to only one or two at a time. The exact features are dependent on the operating
system and on the DisplayLink driver version.
The monitors can be used to output high resolution Windows desktop graphics as well as fluent video playback
using Windows Media Player or appropriate software that supports video playback on an extended desktop.
The adapter will also work fine with netbooks and older notebooks, especially with simple tasks like Office
Software, Email or web browsing. For fluent video playback a modern computer with at least 2GHz Dual Core
processor and a powerful graphics card is required.
The adapter also provides two USB ports for standard USB mouse and keyboard to access the remote
computer directly. The USB ports also support several USB pen drives, USB mass storage devices and
printers. USB hubs or most USB Interface adapters, etc. are not supported.
