LINDY 2 Port Manual 4K DisplayPort Switch, 11x6.8x2.7cm, 38411

Product Information

If you're wondering about Thunderbolt 2/3, it basically just routes DisplayPort over the Thunderbolt connection. Thunderbolt 2 supports DisplayPort 1.2, and Thunderbolt 3 supports DisplayPort 1.4 video. It's also possible to route HDMI 2.0 over Thunderbolt 3 with the right hardware. Shall provide picture controls for brightness, contrast, and detail, as well as horizontal and vertical sizing, positions, and zoom for both Preview and Program output buses Shall provide internal video test patterns and pink noise generator for calibration and setup of display devices DVI is the bare minimum you want to use today, and even that has limitations. It has a lot in common with early HDMI, just without audio support. It works fine for gaming at 1080p, or 1440p resolution if you have a dual-link connection. Dual-link DVI-D is basically double the bandwidth of single-link DVI-D via extra pins and wires, and most modern GPUs with a DVI port support dual-link. But the truly modern graphics cards like Nvidia's Ada Lovelace RTX 40-series and AMD's RDNA 3 RX 7000-series almost never include DVI connectors these days. Shall switch embedded multi-channel HDMI and DisplayPort audio, along with video, to the Preview and Program HDMI outputs.

I will say that I have an Acer XB280HK 4K60 G-Sync display that only has a single DisplayPort input, and it powers up or wakes from sleep almost instantly. I have an Acer G-Sync Ultimate 4K 144Hz HDR display meanwhile that takes about 7 seconds to wake from sleep. Rather annoying. at a fixed 144 Hz refresh rate and 24-bit color works just fine on DisplayPort 1.2 or higher, as well as HDMI 2.0 or higher. Anything lower than that will also work without trouble on either connection type. About the only caveat is that sometimes HDMI connections on a monitor will default to a limited RGB range, but you can correct that in the AMD or Nvidia display options. (This is because old TV standards used a limited color range, and some modern displays still think that's a good idea. News flash: it's not.) You might think it's a simple matter of hooking up whatever cable comes with your monitor to your PC and calling it a day, but there are differences that can often mean a loss of refresh rate, color quality, or both if you're not careful. Here's what you need to know about DisplayPort vs. HDMI connections.

My Experience

The system has detected a link failure and cannot set the requested resolution and refresh rate. Your display might not support the requested resolution or there may be an issue with the cable connecting the display to your computer." I know that HDMI can be very slow (depending on monitor)... sometimes as much as 5 seconds to see the new source. I assumed that was content protection built into the standard and/or slow decoder ASIC. HDMI cable requirements have changed over time, just like DisplayPort. One of the big advantages is that high quality HDMI cables can be up to 15m (49.2 feet) in length — five times longer than DisplayPort. That may not be important for a display sitting on your desk, but it can definitely matter for home theater use. Originally, HDMI had two categories of cables: category 1 or standard HDMI cables are intended for lower resolutions and/or shorter runs, and category 2 or “High Speed” HDMI cables are capable of 1080p at 60 Hz and 4K at 30 Hz with lengths of up to 15m. Shall provide one (1) bidirectional RS-232 3-pole captive screw connector on rear panel for RS-232 control You can use an HDMI switcher with two HDMI outputs to send the same HDMI signal to two TVs or a video projector and TV, but you can use an HDMI splitter if you don't need a switcher.

Shall provide upscaling and downscaling of input sources with 30-bit precision processing and 4:4:4 color bandwidth For Nvidia gamers, your best option right now is a DisplayPort 1.4 connection to a G-Sync certified (compatible or official) display. Alternatively, HDMI 2.1 with a newer display works as well. Both the RTX 30-series and 40-series cards support the same connection standards, for better or worse. Most graphics cards will come with three DisplayPort connections and a single HDMI output, though you can find models with two HDMI and two (or three) DisplayPort connections as well — only four active outputs at a time are supported.

HDMI splitters that send two, three, four, or more signals from a single HDMI source are available, but for consumers, two is usually enough. Splitters with more outputs are primarily for business and commercial use, where one source needs to be sent to multiple TVs or projectors. The first clue to a DisplayPort link failure will probably be your monitor switching to low resolution. This mainly affects AMD GPUs and usually occurs after waking your computer and monitor from sleep. Shall provide two (2) independent video buses that shall enable the operator to view video prior to audience display

Note that there are two bandwidth columns: transmission rate and data rate. The DisplayPort and HDMI digital signals use bitrate encoding of some form — 8b/10b for most of the older standards, 16b/18b for HDMI 2.1, and 128b/132b for DisplayPort 2.0. 8b/10b encoding for example means for every 8 bits of data, 10 bits are actually transmitted, with the extra bits used to help maintain signal integrity (eg, by ensuring zero DC bias).Shall allow any input image to be displayed on-screen simultaneously with another image for picture-in-picture – PIP display and allow: AMD gamers have a few more options, at least with RX 7000-series cards. You can find DisplayPort 2.1 monitors and TVs, if you look hard enough. Maybe. The Asus ROG Swift PG32UXQR for example supports DisplayPort 2.1, but it hasn't officially released yet (and it's not the same as the previous PG32UXQ). HDMI 2.1 connectivity is also sufficient, and there are more displays available. Keep in mind that maximum bandwidth of the RDNA 3 GPUs is 54 Gbps over DisplayPort 2.1, or 48 Gbps over HDMI 2.1, so it's not a huge difference. Most AMD RX 7900-series cards that we've seen include two DisplayPort 2.1 ports, and either two HDMI 2.1 or a single HDMI 2.1 alongside a USB Type-C connection.
