Introduction
The USB32DVIEH USB 3.0 to DVI Adapter turns an available USB 3.0 port into a DVI
output port with high resolution 1920x1200 video support. The adapter features a
built-in 1-Port USB 3.0 hub, which oers a connection port in place of the USB port
used for connecting the DVI adapter – an ideal workaround for Ultrabook™ or laptop
users where only a limited number of USB ports are available.
The USB to DVI adapter functions as an external graphics card, providing a convenient
way to add multi-monitor capability to a USB 3.0-enabled desktop or laptop computer
(optimal performance from USB 3.0, backward compatible with USB 2.0). The included
DVI to VGA adapter also allows you to use this device with a VGA display.
Leveraging the high-bandwidth (5 Gbps) SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface, the adapter
delivers smooth, high-denition content to your DVI display / projector. The adapter
can be used to mirror your primary desktop, showing the same image on each display,
or to extend your desktop to double your workspace and increase your productivity.
Backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
