Certain DVI sources such as the Evertz video processor and certain scalers do not have 5V coming out of pin#14 of DVI output. This is not in line with DDWG’s DVI specification. Our OC obtains power from the video source’s DVI pin#14 and if this power is not available, OC will not operate properly. For these type of video sources, we recommend using our DVI-G5P adapter(DVI female to DVI female adapter with 5V input) to be used between the video source and OC cable to feed the 5V power. A short copper DVI cable is required to go between DVI-G5P and the video source.
