Source links: S411 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C014C · P014
Dell SE2416HM documentation shows a numbered 24-position DVI-D grid but labels positions 4, 5, 12, 13, 20 and 21 Floating. Its implementation must not be substituted into a universal dual-link pinout.
Claim scope: Exact manual table, page 44. Other source-specific labels remain separate from the DDWG table.
Source links: S413 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C014D · P014
Dell documents E-Port docks with DVI connectors accepting dual-link-shaped cables but wired for single-link operation. It also identifies the source, cable, display and any adapter as separate dual-link requirements.
Claim scope: Named legacy dock example and documentation checklist, not a universal resolution limit or all-dock inventory.
Source links: S414 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C014E · P014
StarTech DVI2VGAE is an active adapter with DVI-D input and VGA output; the hardware table lists no audio.
Claim scope: Named direction and video-only conversion. The pictured DVI connector is a dual-link form; pin loading is not a resolution guarantee.
Source links: S493 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C016A · P016
The familiar VGA-style HD15 connector has three rows of five contact positions.
Claim scope: Consumer identification / documented standard or product class only
Source links: S018 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C016B · P016
Dell P2016 Rev. A02, page 15, assigns its VGA example as follows: 1 red video, 2 green video, 3 blue video, 4 ground, 5 self-test, 6 red return, 7 green return, 8 blue return, 9 computer 5 V / 3.3 V, 10 sync ground, 11 ground, 12 DDC data, 13 horizontal sync, 14 vertical sync, 15 DDC clock.
Claim scope: Exact manual assignment and numbered source view only; not a universal VGA wiring map, supply instruction or authorization to modify a cable.
Source links: S393 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C016C · P016
The NEC VT37 manual, page 55, differs from the Dell P2016 example: pin 5 is ground rather than self-test, pin 9 is not connected rather than a computer-supply label, and pin 11 is SCART sync rather than ground.
Claim scope: Comparison of two named device manuals only. Differences are not reconciled into one universal pinout or a manufacturing defect diagnosis.
Source links: S393 · S394 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C016D · P016
NEC VT37 page 14 documents separate RGB/VGA and audio cables for its computer connection. Its page-55 COMPUTER connector table contains video, sync and control assignments rather than an audio channel.
Claim scope: Conventional RGB/VGA role illustrated by this exact device; do not infer that a proprietary combined cable has no separate audio conductors.
Source links: S394 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C016E · P016
NEC VT37 page 16 documents a component source connected to its COMPUTER input through the ADP-CV1 15-pin-to-three-RCA adapter and a three-RCA component cable. The manual separately identifies composite VIDEO input and audio connections.
Claim scope: Named component-capable input example, not evidence that arbitrary VGA outputs generate component or composite video, or that a connector-only adapter converts signal formats.
Source links: S394 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C016F · P016
The DVI2VGAE instructions describe a DVI source feeding a VGA monitor or projector and include USB power support for low-powered DVI ports.
Claim scope: Named conversion direction. VGA-source-to-DVI-display operation and audio carriage are not established.
Source links: S493 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C334A · P334
StarTech DVI2VGAE documents active conversion from DVI-D input to VGA output. Its hardware table explicitly marks audio as unsupported and identifies a DVI-D dual-link contact form; the latter is not evidence of a dual-link video implementation.
Claim scope: DVI2VGAE exact conversion direction, audio boundary and physical form, pages 1–3.
Source links: S417 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C334B · P334
DVI2VGAE normally takes power through the DVI connection. The manufacturer provides a USB power option for low-powered DVI ports; the USB lead is described as supplying power, not transporting the video signal.
Claim scope: DVI2VGAE optional auxiliary-power path, pages 1–3. No USB data transport, charging standard or source power budget is inferred.
Source links: S417 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C334C · P334
The inspected DVI2VGAE sheet gives 1080p in its headline/features but 1920 × 1200 in the maximum-analog-resolution table. These differing statements are retained as a source conflict; no single maximum or refresh rate is selected.
Claim scope: DVI2VGAE unresolved operating-limit evidence, pages 1–2; confirmation of the exact supported timing remains required.
Source links: S417 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C334D · P334
DVI2VGAE lists a 190 mm attached cable and a separate 610 mm USB Type-A to Micro-B power cable. Those two lengths describe different paths and are not added into one video-cable reach.
Claim scope: DVI2VGAE cable and included-power-lead entries, pages 2–3; body dimensions and generic connector taxonomy remain separate.
Source links: S417 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C336A · P336
StarTech DVI2HD lists DVI-D input and HDMI output for a computer-to-display path. Its DVI connector is described as a dual-link physical form; reverse operation, analog DVI-A input and implemented dual-link transport are not established by that description.
Claim scope: DVI2HD hardware and connector tables, pages 1–4; the explicit DVI-D AV-input entry bounds broad marketing wording.
Source links: S419 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C336B · P336
DVI2HD can add two-channel stereo from native USB audio on a Windows computer to the HDMI output. The sheet describes USB power and allows video-only use through the DVI connection; adding audio requires the separate USB connection.
Claim scope: DVI2HD separate USB audio/power path, pages 1–2. This is not evidence that an ordinary DVI-to-HDMI cable transports USB audio or that every operating system is supported.
Source links: S419 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C336C · P336
The DVI2HD performance table documents 1920 × 1080p at 60 Hz. Other listed resolutions have no individually stated refresh rates in the inspected sheet. This product entry is not a full timing or HDMI-feature compatibility guarantee.
Claim scope: DVI2HD performance entries, pages 2–3; named documented timing only, no computed maximum, HDCP or codec guarantee.
Source links: S419 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C336D · P336
DVI2HD lists a 17.8 cm cable length separately from a 25.0 cm whole-product length. The document describes audio integration but does not explicitly assign an active/passive classification; that classification remains not established here.
Claim scope: DVI2HD physical measurements and classification boundary, pages 2–4; no cable reach reconstructed from body dimensions.
