Introduction:
The Accell UltraAV DisplayPort to DVI multi-monitor adapter allows you to connect up to three DVI-D monitors using only

one DisplayPort connector on your graphics card. Once connected, you have the freedom to configure the monitors as a

single unified display (expanded mode), or three identical displays (clone mode) by simply changing the output resolution of

your graphics card. This adapter is plug-and-play-ready, requiring no additional software or driver.

Features:

-Fully HD compatible supporting resolutions up to 3840x1024/60Hz/32bit color.
-No additional software to install, just Plug-and-Play.

-Works with any desktop or notebook computer (PC or Mac) that has a DisplayPort output.

-Designed to work with monitors that have DVI-D Single-Link input, and it works best if the monitors are of the same native
resolution, up to 1280x1024 per monitor.

-If monitors are of different native resolutions, the adapter will display at a resolution common to the monitors.

-If your graphics card has two DisplayPort ports, they can output to six monitors with two of these adapters!
