Accell UltraAV DisplayPort Setup Instructions
Introduction:
The Accell UltraAV DisplayPort to DisplayPort multi-monitor adapter allows you to connect up to three DisplayPort monitors
using only one DisplayPort connector on your graphics card. Once connected, you have the freedom to configure the
monitors as a single unified display (expanded mode), or three identical displays (clone mode) by simply changing the
output resolution of your graphics card. This adapter is plug-and-play-ready, requiring no additional software or driver.
Features:
-Fully HD compatible supporting resolutions up to 3840x1024/60Hz/32bit color.
-No additional software to install, just Plug-and-Play.
-Works with any desktop or notebook computer (PC or Mac) that has a DisplayPort output.
-Designed to work with monitors that have DisplayPort input, and it works best if the monitors are of the same native
resolution, up to 1280x1024 per monitor.
-If monitors are of different native resolutions, the adapter will display at a resolution common to the monitors.
-If your graphics card has two DisplayPort ports, they can output to six monitors with two of these adapters!
