WinI2C/DDC is a strong application that enables you to use the DDC/CI protocol in order to control the display devices connected to your computer. It allows you to send DDC/CI commands via the standard video cable (VGA or DVI) and control all display devices that support the DDC/CI protocol: CRT/LCD monitors, projectors, plasma panels, etc.
WinI2C/DDC library supports many types of video chips (nVidia, ATI, Intel, S3, SiS, Matrox, etc) and configurations with several monitors. Also WinI2C/DDC provides a COM interface for all API functions so you can simply use it in VB or such .NET languages as VB.NET or C#.
WinI2C/DDC is the fastest and cost-effective way to create such software as color calibration solutions or OSD replacement utilities. The WinI2C/DDC library can be very useful in a lot of projects, for example, it can be integrated into any asset management software for providing all necessary information about installed display devices.
WinI2C/DDC can also be used for In System Programming (ISP) via VGA/DVI, for example, by OEM monitor manufacturers for updating the firmware of their monitors.
Here are some key features of "WinI2C-DDC":
· Supports a lot of video chipsets (nVidia, ATI, Intel, S3, SiS, Matrox, etc).
· Advanced detection of I2C capability in video cards.
· Supports configurations with several monitors.
· APIs for enumerating monitors and getting their EDID and capabilities.
· Built-in EDID parser.
· APIs for working with the I2C bus directly and working with DDC-CI commands.
· APIs for working with the I2C lines (SDA and SCL lines).
· Supports Windows Vista I2C/DDC API.
· APIs for the most popular operations, such as getting/setting monitor brightness, contrast, display area position, size, color settings, etc.
· Can be used with a lot of programming languages (any language that supports DLLs or COM objects).
· Sample projects with complete source code for various programming languages (C/C++, VB, Delphi, C#, VB.NET) are available as well as detailed documentation for APIs, structures and types.
