Note
Possible number of extended versions or PRO devices on a PC
A free USB interface and a free DisplayPort interface of the PC are required for each direct
connection of an extended version or PRO device to a PC. This means that the possible
number of IFPs on a PC is defined by the number of available USB and DisplayPort interfaces
of the PC.
Possible number of PCs on an extended version or a PRO device
As soon as the DisplayPort interface of the extended version or the PRO device is connected
to a PC, no video signals can be transmitted via the Ext-Link interface of the IFP. This means
that exactly one PC can be connected to one extended version or one PRO device.
Extended mode from 5 m to 100 m distance
Connect an extended version or a PRO device for longer distances up to 100 m to the PC via
the Transceiver Unit and the following cables:
