Thank you for purchasing the new ex-tend-it DVI-3000HD series by Gefen, Inc.

The DVI•3000HD by Gefen allows users the benefits of extending a DVI display, USB, and RS232 up to 6.25 miles away. In a growing number of applications, broadcast stations, production facilities and even military divisions need to securely remote control a computer. Remote controlling a computer over the internet can be slow and inaccurate; but with the DVI•3000HD, you have a physical connection to your CPU. It is as if you are locally connected to the computer.

TERMINOLOGY

DDC

Short form for Display Data Channel. It is a VESA standard for communication between a monitor and a video adapter. Using DDC, a monitor can inform the video card about its properties, such as maximum resolution and color depth. The video card can then use this information to ensure that the user is presented with valid options for configuring the display

DDWG

Digital Display Working Group DDWG are the creators of the DVI specification.

DVI

Digital Visual Interface. Connection standard developed by Intel for connecting computers to digital monitors such as flat panels and DLP projectors. A consumer electronics version, not necessarily compatible with the PC version, is used as a connection standard for HDTV tuners and displays. Transmits an uncompressed digital signal to the display. The latter version uses HDCP copy protection to prevent unauthorized copying

USB

Universal Serial Bus. An external peripheral interface standard for communication between a computer and external peripherals over a cable using bi-serial transmission.

VESA

Video Electronic Standards Association, a consortium of manufacturers formed to establish and maintain industry wide standards for video cards and monitors. VESA was instrumental in the introduction of the Super VGA and Extended VGA video graphics standards with a refresh rate of 70 Hz, minimizing flicker and helping to reduce user eyestrain and fatigue.

RS-232

Recommended Standard 232. This is the de facto standard for communication through PC serial ports. It can refer to cables and ports that support the RS232 standard.
