Editor's review

WinI2C/DDC is a powerful solution that allows you to control monitors in Windows environment via DDC/CI protocol.

Features: WinI2C/DDC uses the DDC/CI protocol to control display devices in the Windows environment. It allows you to send DDC/CI commands via the standard VGA or DVI video cable. The command set of the DDC/CI lets you control display devices such as CRT/LCD monitors, projectors, plasma panels, etc. This can be a quick way to create software related such display devices. Manufacturing aids like color calibration or creating a on screen display (OSD) etc. The WinI2C/DDC library can be very useful in projects like asset management software for providing necessary information about installed display devices. WinI2C/DDC can be used for updating the firmware of their monitors via VGA/DVI. You can get DDC/CI monitor capabilities. Extended display identification data or EDID can be read from the display devices. You would be able to find out vendor information, maximum image size, color characteristics, factory preset timings, frequency range limits, and character strings for the monitor name and serial number. Monitor settings can be read and changed such as brightness, contrast, screen position, size, color gain, etc. Changing of firmware is supported. It is supported on Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/Windows-7-Beta. 64 bit versions are supported for Windows 2003 x64, Windows XP x64 and Windows Vista x64. For making the integration easy 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.

Overall: A very useful application though it is for a very specific niche area.

Publisher's description

WinI2C/DDC is a powerful solution that allows you to control display devices in the Windows environment via the DDC/CI protocol. 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 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.
The WinI2C/DDC API allows you to perform all necessary operations with display devices:
- Enumerate all installed monitors.
- Get DDC/CI monitor capabilities.
- Read EDID (extended display identification data) directly from the monitor. EDID contains basic information about the monitor and its capabilities, including vendor information, maximum image size, color characteristics, factory preset timings, frequency range limits, and character strings for the monitor name and serial number.
- Read and change such monitor settings as brightness, contrast, screen position, size, color gain, etc.
- Execute any commands that the display device supports via DDC/CI.
- A wide set of advanced operations, for example, changing EDID or display's firmware.

Many strange gaps in the information you can get from monitors, very arrogant tech support, not worth the money
