Bitec DVI SC boards - AHTUNG!!!

Never use this boards from Bitec:

http://www.bitec.ltd.uk/sc_dvi.html

They have four great errors!

They burn my monitor by routing through DVI IN board +18V VCC from devkit to +5V DVI DDC VCC;

They mark CTL1/2/3 pins on schematic of the DVI OUT boards as a float but in real they were connected to the FPGA pins so I spent some weeks while understand why my I2C don't work;

They didn't route necessary reset_n signal to the FPGA;

Signal Integrity is absence. 1024x760x60 output mode is a upper boundary for Bitec.

I've never ever seen so many hard mistakes in so small boards. Greatest products!

Digitally yours,

Mikhail
