Video Display Adapter
Quickstart Guide

Thank you for purchasing the NewerTech USB to DVI/HDMI/VGA
Video Display Adapter! This guide will get you up and running as
quickly as possible.
You can be up and running in 3 easy steps!
Step 1. Connecting your monitor to the NewerTech USB to DVI/HDMI/
VGA Video Display Adapter.
Plug your monitor’s DVI cable
into the DVI connector on the
back panel of the Adapter.
If you are connecting a VGA or
HDMI display, use the DVI-to-
VGA or DVI-to-HDMI adapter
included in the package.
These are pass-through type
connectors that simply plug
into the NewerTech USB to
DVI to Video Display Adapter
Step 2. Connect your NewerTech USB to DVI/HDMI/VGA Video Display
Adapter to your computer using the USB 2.0 “A” cable

Step 3 - Software Installation
IMPORTANT NOTE: We highly recommend you visit
http://www.displaylink.com/ and verify that you have the latest ver-
sion of the software drivers. This is especially true if you are running Mac
OS X 10.6 “Snow Leopard” as those drivers were in beta at the time of
this writing and only work in 32-bit mode. Future versions of the driver
will be more full featured.
PC users: - Plug the USB to DVI Video Display Adapter into an avail-
able USB 2.0 port. The NewerTech USB to DVI/HDMI/VGA Video Display
Adapter will auto run an installer application and guide you through the
software installation process. This will take a few minutes to complete,
but will automatically congure your monitor once nished. The includ-
ed CD is not needed for installation, but does have the full user guide
and drivers included on it for further reference.
Mac users: - The NewerTech USB to DVI/HDMI/VGA Video Display
Adapter will mount a disk image on your desktop. If you are running
Mac OS X 10.4.11 or 10.5.6, you can use the installer application on this
ash-based disk image to complete your driver installation. If you are us-
ing Mac OS X 10.6 “Snow Leopard”, you will need to insert the included
CD and install the latest drivers o of that disc.
Mac Installation:
If you are running Mac OS X 10.4.11, or Mac OS X 10.5.6*:

the USB to DVI Video Adapter into your computer and then open the
“DisplayLink-OSX-1.1.dmg” disk image. Continue on the next page.
*If you are running a version of Mac OS X 10.5 later than 10.5.6, you will
