Introduction: Congratulations on your purchase of the ACCELL UltraVideo USB 2.0 to DVI-I (VGA) External Video Adapter. This
adapter enables you to connect a DVI monitor, LCD display or projector to a notebook or desktop computer’s USB port. Use the enclosed
DVI to VGA analog adapter to convert the adapter from DVI to VGA, providing compatibility to a VGA display. With this adapter connected to
a USB port you can easily extend or mirror your desktop to another display without having to install a video card. The adapter features the
DisplayLink DL-195 processor inside and uses the DisplayLink driver software to operate. For the latest driver, or to find a driver or for
support on an operating system not supported on the enclosed driver CD, please visit the DisplayLink Web site at
www.displaylink.com/support/downloads.php.
Note: Up to 6 adapters can be supported on a single computer, supporting up to 6 additional displays. Each additional adapter will require
computer resources to operate and the performance of the adapter is dependent upon the processing power available as well as the
operating system in use. More capable systems offer higher performance. Use a powered USB hub if additional USB ports are needed.
