StarTech.com MDP2DVIS Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter Instruction Manual

소개

This manual provides instructions for the StarTech.com MDP2DVIS Mini DisplayPort to DVI Active Adapter. This adapter allows you to connect a Mini DisplayPort (mDP) enabled source device, such as a computer or laptop, to a DVI-D display, monitor, or projector.
