HI anybody know if the folling will work on watchpax

Accel - UltraAV® DisplayPort to DVI Multi-Monitor Adapter

when I first saw this post I thought the fabled AMD DisplayPort 1.2 MST hub had finally come to market.

But that is not what it is.

 

The specificaitons are telling, quite significant limitations:

 

Typical maximum resolution: 3 monitors @1280x1024 (3840x1024)

· Supported monitor frequency: 60Hz

· DisplayPort 1.1a compliant

 

Seems to accept a single channel signal from the GPU,

and then internally breaks it up on its own.

What appears to be a maximum 1024 pixel height seems quite a limitation.

And WATCHPAX tops out at 2560 width, so that 3840 width would not be acheivable.

The non-standard resolution needed, say 2560x1024, may very well be an issue,

possibly the box has EDID support to overcome that, but I would not be hopeful for that.

Hi Folks-  

 

Noting that the various suggested active mini to DVI support 1920x1200...but the watchpax documentation shows support up to 2560x1600?

How does one get the max available output on the watchpax?

 

thanks for your assistance.

 

Cheers

Yes, that's Single-Link DVI, possible with an ACTIVE Single-Link DVI to MiniDP-adapter, not needing external power.

2560 x 1600 is Dual-Link DVI, possible with an ACTIVE Dual-Link DVI to MiniDP-adapter, needing external or USB power.

That said, this will work for still imagery, not video at this resolution for WATCHPAX.
