Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the LINDY KVM Gigabit Console or Display over Gigabit Adapter.
These four adapters can be used in two different ways depending on the model number and
firmware installed on the adapters. They can either be used to output video to remote monitors
connected via Gigabit Ethernet (Display over Gigabit Adapter, HDMI No. 38080, DVI No.38081)
or they can be used to control a computer remotely via a Gigabit connection (KVM Gigabit
Console, HDMI No. 38082, DVI No.38083). They are available either for HDMI monitors with
integrated HDMI sound support or for DVI monitors and external analog audio speakers.
Additional monitors connected to the adapters will be used as additional standard Windows
monitors in Windows mirror mode or extended desktop mode connected by DisplayLink
technology. They can be used to output high resolution Windows desktop graphics as well as
for fluent video playback using Windows Media Player or appropriate software that supports
video playback on an extended desktop.
Up to 6 of these Display over Gigabit Adapters may be installed on one PC and show the same
or different video. When using different video streams fluent video performance may be limited
to only one or two at a time and a quite powerful computer and graphics card must be used.

Minimum System Requirements

• PC or Notebook, see processor requirement below
• Primary display adapter with MPEG video playback acceleration if fluent video is required
• Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 port 100/1000Base-T
• Windows XP SP3 32 bit / Vista SP1 / Windows 7 32 or 64 bit
Driver and Software Installation --- IMPORTANT ---
These adapters use USB server software that allows the USB ports of the adapters to be used
via a network. Please make sure to install the drivers from the included supplied CD or from the
LINDY website but not the drivers your Windows system would suggest! With the Windows
standard drivers certain problems especially for Audio support may occur. Once your system is
installed and working correctly you may update the drivers by Windows update at any time.
In addition the Adapters use the DisplayLink
the monitors. Please allow your Windows system to always update to the most recent
DisplayLink drivers. DisplayLink manuals and most recent driver software can be found on
www.displaylink.com.
The technology behind these products underlies rapid development and features as well
as driver installation process may become slightly different to the following descriptions.
Requirements for processors and graphics cards
When used with Office Software, Email or for browsing the web the adapter will also work fine
with a netbook and older notebook. For fluent video playback a modern computer with at least
2GHz Dual Core processor is required. Less powerful processors may cause the video
playback to skip frames and not play fluently! For video playback on a secondary extended
desktop monitor the video playback software has to support video overlay on the secondary
monitor (i.e. Windows Media Player) – consult the information from your video playback
software provider!
