2.2 USB 2.0 Backwards Compatibility
DVI2USB 3.0 is USB 2.0 backwards-compatible; you can connect it to the USB 2.0
port in situations when a laptop or workstation has a USB 2.0 port only. It will not
prevent you from using the frame grabber in these circumstances. DVI2USB 3.0 uses
green and blue LEDs to indicate whether it is connected to a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port.
Refer to section
for information on LED indicators.
Configuration Tips:
The DVI2USB 3.0 cannot transfer uncompressed video when connected to
the workstation’s USB 2.0 port. This standard provides lower transfer speed
than the USB 3.0 standard therefore the frame grabber will compress the
captured data before transferring.
