Description

DVI-to-HDMI

The HDMI adapter is a proprietary adapter manufactured and sold by approved manufacturers (like Wieson Technologies Co., Ltd.) that has a specific detection mechanism to allow properly configured graphics cards to pass HDMI signals through a DVI connection to an HDMI compliant device.

Supported Display Connections

To ensure the highest possible performance, only one display device is supported when ATI CrossFireX™ is active. When ATI CrossFireX is active, other display devices connected to the other connections on both graphics cards are rendered inactive.

If additional displays are required when ATI CrossFireX is active, use either SurroundView (included on the installation CD, custom software install), or an additional graphics card.

The graphics card provides hardware support for DVI-I and VGA monitors, and HDMI HDTVs (using a DVI-to-HDMI adapter). It also provides TV output.
