I have a desktop computer qui contains a TV tuner card connects to a projector qui were 10mtr DVI / HDMI cable. I had a problem with the link SYNCHRONISING at the computer end of the link qui Was connected on the HDMI port of the graphics card and wanted the converter to allow me to connect to the DVI port to see if this solved the problem. Now with the link going DVI / DVI the picture comes up perfectly in 1280/768.
The connector Was an economic solution to what Could have been a very expensive problem, running in a new cable, changing the graphics card, throwing the computer at the wall .........
