The 1364ADD2 PCI Express Digital Display card, a production-ready reference card by Silicon Image, is a lowcost solution that brings the Digital Visual Interface (DVI) to  any Intel 915G-based desktop PC with a PCI Express slot. The 1364ADD2 card provides a simple add-in solution that connects into the PCI Express slot of any 915G motherboard with full hardware and software compatibility.

Equipped with the Silicon Image SiI 1364 DVI transmitter chip, the 1364ADD2 card provides PC and motherboard manufacturers a low-cost, all-digital video interface covering the full range of digital display resolutions from VGA to UXGA. Flat panel displays, digital projectors and digital CRTs are all supported by this card. Incorporating PanelLink^® technology - Silicon Image's proprietary implementation of the DVI specification - the SiI 1364 is the market's leading DVI-compliant transmitter capable of running at the full 5 Gbps single-link bandwidth.
Using the 1364ADD2 card is seamless and easy. With a small board size and the choice of a standard or low-profile PCI Express bracket, the card can be universally installed in any PC form factor. Simply insert it into the x16 PCI Express slot of any Intel 915G-equipped motherboard, and the PC is now fully DVI-ready. Upon boot up, the system automatically loads the ADD2 card configuration information (stored in a serial EEPROM) and configures the outputs to the PCI Express pins with Intel's x4 lane SDVO (Serial Digital Video Output) interface. The configuration information file in Serial Presence Detect (SPD) format software for the 1364ADD2 card is fully tested, certified and provided by Silicon Image and Intel.

The 1364ADD2 card turns any Intel 915G-based PC into a high-performance, DVI-compliant system capable of supporting high-resolution digital displays. Fully hardware and software qualified, the 1364ADD2 card reference design can be brought to volume production quickly.
