identified by the number of pins on the DVI connector. DVI comes in the following five
different connector types:
 DVI-A (17 pin).
 DVI-D Single Link (19 pin).
 DVI-D Dual Link (25 pin).
 DVI-I Single Link (23 pin).
 DVI-I Dual Link (29 pin).
Single and Dual link DVI indicate the maximum resolution capabilities of the video source or
video destination. The maximum resolutions are Single Link (1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz) and Dual
Link (2560 x 1600 @ 60Hz).
Note: The maximum resolution of your video source and video destination are ultimately
determined by the technical specifications of the devices. The connector type is not a definitive
indicator of the maximum resolution.
DVI-A carries only analog (for example, VGA) with no digital component. DVI-D carries only
digital video (for example, HDMI) with no analog component. DVI-I combines DVI-A and DVI-
D connections to include both analog and digital components. A DVI-I port may be on either
your video source or display, but whether or not a display carries either or both analog and
digital sources depends on the technical specifications of your device.

Can the USB3HDCAP be used with USB 2.0 or older ports?
The USB3HDCAP only works with USB 3.0 (or later) ports, because the USB3HDCAP requires
more bandwidth than USB 2.0 (or earlier) ports can provide to transfer data to the computer
system. If you use a USB 2.0 or older port with the USB3HDCAP, the USB3HDCAP will be
detected in Device Manager, but will not display video in StreamCatcher. StreamCatcher will
show No Signal and a video frame rate.
If you need to purchase a USB 3.0 card for your system, refer to the USB 3.0 Cards section
on the StarTech.com website: http://www.startech.com/Cards-Adapters/USB-3.0/Cards/.
Note: Refer to the following FAQ to make sure that you purchase a compatible chipset card for
your
system: http://www.startech.com/faq/http://www.startech.com/faq/USB3HDCAP_Chipset_Inco
