  1. 1ADC-DVI conversion adaptor type 1 mentioned below is required for outputting a digital signal. (ADC-DVI conversion adopter type 2 mentioned below is required only for the L565.)
  2. 2Type 2 adopter is required for outputting a digital signal. *The manufacturer no longer makes the product. (Using the type 1 adaptor and setting ADC output is required only for the L797.)
  3. 3When displaying digital signal, the image can move to the right by about 1 cm. Change the display resolution or color number once to correct it.
  4. 4Mini-DVI adopter is required for connecting with an external monitor.

Types of ADC-DVI conversion adaptors

The manufacturers no longer make these products.

1. ADC-DVI adaptor with no digital signal detection function

Product Example: Belkin Corporation [Apple Monitor Adaptor]

2. ADC-DVI adaptor with digital signal detection function

Product Example: Dr.Bott KG [DVI Extractor II]

ADC-DVI conversion adapter type 2 has backward compatibility and can be used instead of type 1.
