Accell UltraAV USB to HDMI Video Adapter - Manual

Introduction: Congratulations on your purchase of the ACCELL UltraAV USB 2.0 to HDMI External Video and Audio Adapter. This
adapter acts as a video card and enables you to connect an HDMI monitor, TV or projector to a notebook or desktop personal computer’s
USB port. With this adapter connected to a USB port you can easily extend, mirror or rotate 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. Each additional adapter will require computer resources to operate and
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 your computer has run out of USB ports and additional USB ports are needed.
