Dongles Barco dongles are specially designed to allow Barco Display Controllers with a DisplayPort output to be connected with a display with DVI input. Single-Link dongle The Single-Link dongle allows to connect a display’s DVI input with the DisplayPort output of your Barco Display Controller. However, the Single- Link dongle is limited to convert resolutions to 2MP for color displays and 5MP for grayscale displays.
Dual-Link dongle The Dual-Link dongle also converts DisplayPort input signals to DVI output signals. However, unlike the Single-Link dongle, the Dual-Link dongle offers higher resolutions for both color and grayscale displays. A Dual-Link DVI cable must be used to connect your display’s DVI connector with the DVI connector on the Dual-Link dongle.
If you are using QAWebAgent version 1.10.2 or older, then a separate software component is required for supporting DDC communication through the dual link dongle.
