INTRODUCTION  
Congratulations on your purchase of the DVI to Mini DP Converter. Your  
complete satisfaction is very important to us.  
Gefen  
Gefen delivers innovative, progressive computer and electronics add-on  
solutions that harness integration, extension, distribution and conversion  
technologies. Gefen’s reliable, plug-and-play products supplement cross-  
platform computer systems, professional audio/video environments and HDTV  
systems of all sizes with hard-working solutions that are easy to implement  
and simple to operate.  
The Gefen DVI to Mini DP Converter  
The DVI to Mini DisplayPort Converter enables computers with single-link  
DVI to output on monitors or displays using the Mini Displayport interface.  
DisplayPort displays can easily be connected using a Mini Displayport to  
DisplayPort adapter.  
DisplayPort is a standard that handles today’s higher video resolutions and  
AV bandwidths while making connections simpler than in the past. Mini  
DisplayPort is a variation of DisplayPort.  
Unlike the video signal relationship between DVI and HDMI, which is  
interchangeable, DisplayPort cannot natively support the transmission of  
these signal types without active electronics to modify the signal. Gefen’s  
DVI to Mini DisplayPort ensures compatibility with all current and legacy DVI  
devices.  
How It Works  
Connect a DVI-D cable into your computer source’s DVI-D connector.  
Connect the other side of the DVI-D cable to the DVI input on the DVI to Mini  
DisplayPort Converter. Connect the Display device at its Mini DisplayPort  
connector. Connect the included power supply to the unit. You will now see a  
sharp, clear DVI picture on your DisplayPort-compliant display device.  
Note: This device is compatible with digital DVI input signals only. DVI-A or  
VGA analog sources, interlaced video formats, and HDCP copy protected  
signals are not supported.

CONNECTING THE DVI TO MINI DP CONVERTER  
How to Connect the DVI to Mini DP Converter  
1. Connect a DVI source device to the DVI input connector on the DVI to  
Mini DP Converter using the supplied DVI cable.  
2. Connect a Mini DisplayPort display to the Mini DisplayPort output  
connector on the DVI to Mini DP Converter using a user/device supplied  
Mini DisplayPort cable.  
3. Locate the appropriate power adapter connector (blade) for your region  
and attach this to the included power supply. The following power adapter  
blades are supplied:  
US: United  
States  
UK:  
EU:  
United Kingdom  
Europe  
AU: Australia  
To connect power connector blade to the power supply please follow  
these steps:  
1. Locate the side of the power supply with the exposed metal  
contacts. This is the side that will accept the power connector blade.  
2. Each power connector blade has a small notch on one end and an  
indent on the opposite side. Insert the notched end of the power  
connector blade into the top portion of the opening on the power  
supply. The notch on the power connector blade should slide into a  
slot inside the opening on the power supply.  
3. Apply pressure to the opposite end of the power connector blade,  
pressing it into the power supply until it clicks into place. Please  
ensure that the attachment is secure and does not come loose when  
pulling the power connector blade away from the power supply.  
NOTE: To disconnect the power connector blade from the power supply,  
simply press and pull the spring loaded locking tab toward the portion of  
the housing where the cable connects to the power supply. The power  
connector blade should easily pull away from the power supply.  
4. Connect the power connector blade of the power supply to an open wall  
power socket.  
5. Connect the opposite end of the power supply cable to the 5V DC power  
connector on the DVI to Mini DP Converter. The power LED should  
become active.
