When the computer boots-up, the system automatically loads the ADD2 card configuration information, which is stored in a serial EEPROM. The card ASI carries under SKU: 35579 provides a single Digital Visual Interface (DVI) port connection for your system that uses Intel's 915G graphics. Note: ADD2 cards cannot be inserted into AGP compliant systems (e.g. Intel 845G and 865G chipsets).

ADD2 cards are small-size boards that ensure full hardware and software compatibility, supporting the full-range of digital display resolutions from VGA to UXGA (1600 x 1200). Digital projectors, flat panel displays and digital CRTs are all compatible with the ADD2 cards as long as you have the correct cable. ADD2 cards are available in ADD2-N (Non-lane-reversed) for ATX systems or ADD2-R (Lane-reversed) for BTX systems, and both are available with a standard or low-profile PCIe bracket. Both cards mate with DVI-D receptacles. Currently ASI is stocking the ATX version, which comes with the standard ATX bracket installed and a low-profile bracket in the box.

Compatibility: ADD2 cards utilize the PCI Express x16 port to receive Intel's Serial Digital Video Output (SDVO) signals from the 915G Northbridge (GMCH). ADD2 cards can allow configurations for TV-out, LVDS, and TMDS output (i.e. televisions and digital displays/flat panels). The ADD2 card ASI carries uses Chrontel's CH7307C DVI transmitter to fully support Intel's SDVO bus requirements with a video input rate of 1-2Gbit/s, and the ability to drive external flat panel displays with resolutions up to UXGA (1600 x 1200pixel) at output rates up to 165Mpixel/s.

Combined with an Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver, ADD2 cards can be used to display system output to a television, digital display, or simultaneously to a monitor and digital display. ADD2 cards provide display output options that expand the range of display devices a system could support. Here are some examples of SDVO Devices for use on ADD2 cards.
