Appendix:


How to calculate what video resolutions are supported.

The DVI-6000 can transport video having a pixel clock of up to 165 MHZ in single link mode or up
to 330 MHZ in dual link mode. To determine if your video can be transported by the DVI-6000, if
you are not sure of the pixel clock frequency, you can use the following formulae to estimate it.
You need to know the resolution and the refresh rate. You can determine these from Windows
Control Panel. Click on Display, then Settings.

If you are transporting analog RGB or DVI with normal blanking:
Pixel clock freq = Horizontal resolution x vertical resolution x refresh rate x 1.35

If you are transporting DVI, reduced blanking:
Pixel clock freq = Horizontal resolution x vertical resolution x refresh rate x 1.1

The results of these formulae must be less than the maximum pixel clock frequencies in order to
be supported by the DVI-6000. If they are not, you will have to reduce the refresh rate, the
resolution, or both.
