SiI 861 Starter Kit
The CP861DVI Starter Kit includes all the
hardware, software and documentation to
quickly bring new pure digital, DVI-compliant
monitors to production. The SiI Digital Visual
Editor is a Windows-based GUI utility that
allows (Read/Write) access to the various
SiI 861 registers, EDID EEPROM registers
and to the configuration EEPROM. The 8051
firmware allows you to control the flat panel
power sequencing, backlight, and all of the
OSD messages. The complete firmware
source code is included for customization.
