Dongles
Barco dongles are specially designed to allow BARCO DISPLAY CONTROLLERS
with a DisplayPort output to be connected with a display with DVI input.
If video cable conversion is not required, you may bypass this section.
Passive Single-link dongle
The passive Single-Link Dongle allows you to connect a display
to the DisplayPort output of your BARCO DISPLAY CONTROLLER. It is compatible
with all BARCO grayscale displays and up to 2MP color models. For color
displays of 3MP and greater resolutions, the Dual-Link Dongle is
necessary.
All BARCO DISPLAY CONTROLLERS compatible with the DisplayPort
interface come with a Single-Link dongle by default.

Active Single-link dongle
BARCO DISPLAY CONTROLLERS are not compatible with active single-link
dongles. Please use the passive dongles that are included with your
BARCO DISPLAY CONTROLLERS.
Dual-link dongle
The active Dual-Link Dongle also converts DisplayPort input signals to
DVI output signals. However, unlike the passive Single-Link dongle, the
Dual-Link dongle allows higher resolutions (greater than 1920x1200) on
color displays.
A Dual-Link DVI cable must be used to connect your display
DVI connector with the DVI connector on the Dual-Link Dongle.
The Dual-Link dongle is ordered separately.
Dual-Link dongle (ordered separately)
Use the following steps to install the dongle:
1Connect the DisplayPort end of the connector to the display
controller.

Display Controller User Guide 19
2Plug in a Dual-Link DVI cable from the display to the DVI port of
the dongle.
3Connect the built-in USB power cable on the dongle to a
workstation USB port.
4If you are using QAWeb Agent version 1.10.2 or older, a separate
software component is required for supporting DDC
communication through the dual-link dongle. Run setup.exe from
Barco_DLDP2DVI_Install package after driver installation to install
the SW.
