DVI2USB 3.0 on Linux
Epiphan provides drivers and an API for linux, but does not provide a capture application. The video grabber is
compatible with Video4Linux, so you can use any Video4Linux application for capture. You can also use the
EpiphanLinux SDK to write your own application. For more information see the Epiphan product downloads
page for your DVI2USB 3.0. You'll find the Software Development Tools section which contains C and
C++api and a java interface and example.
USB device driver (linux)
The Epiphan USB device driver for linux come as a set of pre-compiled binaries and additional source files that
you may need to compile before installing on your computer.
To download the drivers for your product, go to www.epiphan.com/support and find the support page for
DVI2USB 3.0. From the Downloads tab, select the Linux download link; the linux download page appears.
Choose vga2usb from the first dropdown box, and specify your linux distribution specifics in the other
boxes. Once you've drilled into the version of linux for which you want the drivers, click the file links to
download a compressed file with everything you'll need to compile and install the driver. Unzip the file and
read the README for further instructions.
