ADA-LVDS-DVI / Introduction

2Introduction
The ADA-LVDS-DVI is a converter module from LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) to DVI (Digital Visual
Interface). It offers a DVI-D interface with single-link TMDS® and DDC (Display Data Channel) compliance. This
converter module can support DVI monitors with resolutions up to UXGA (1600x1200).
This converter module is designed for the use with Kontron Embedded Modules GmbH embedded computer boards
that support the JILI (JUMPtec Intelligent LVDS Interface) standard. For the support of the complete functionality of
DVI (including the DDC support) it is necessary that a VideoBIOS with DDC auto-detection capability is installed on the
embedded computer board. Currently this is supported on modules with Intel® chipsets (852/855 and newer). Please
contact your technical support for information about available BIOS versions to support this feature.
Most LVDS interfaces are 18 and 24bit compatible to work with default ADA-LVDS-DVI 24bit. For chipsets supporting
18bit LVDS only the second variant ADA-LVDS-DVI 18bit should be used.
