Product Information

DVI offers a higher quality signal compared to VGA. The difference is especially noticeable at higher resolutions. The video quality is a factor of the mechanism of operation and the length and quality of the cable; both are discussed below.

VGA connectors and cables carry analog signals while DVI can carry both analog and digital. DVI is newer and offers better, sharper display compared to VGA. You can easily tell them apart because VGA connectors (and ports) are blue while DVI connectors are white.

And we've got you covered when it comes to HDMI cablesas well, giving you the option to connect your computer to your TV screen or projector - perfect for family movie nights. An earlier attempt to promulgate an updated standard to the analog VGA connector was made by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) in 1994 and 1995, with the Enhanced Video Connector (EVC), which was intended to consolidate cables between the computer and monitor. [3] [4] EVC used a 35-pin Molex MicroCross connector and carried analog video (input and output), analog stereo audio (input and output), and data (via USB and FireWire). At the same time, with the increasing availability of digital flat-panel displays, the priority shifted to digital video transmission, which would remove the extra analog/digital conversion steps required for VGA and EVC; [5] :5–6 the EVC connector was reused by VESA, [6] which released the P&D standard in 1997. [3] P&D offered single-link TMDS digital video with, as an option, analog video output and data (USB and FireWire), using a 35-pin MicroCross connector similar to EVC; the analog audio and video input lines from EVC were repurposed to carry digital video for P&D.

Uses for DVI

To promote interoperability between DVI-D and HDMI devices, HDMI source components and displays support DVI-D signalling. For example, an HDMI display can be driven by a DVI-D source because HDMI and DVI-D both define an overlapping minimum set of supported resolutions and frame buffer formats. a b "VESA Standards".

Some DVI-D sources use non-standard extensions to output HDMI signals including audio (e.g. ATI 3000-series and NVIDIA GTX 200-series). [17] Some multimedia displays use a DVI to HDMI adapter to input the HDMI signal with audio. Exact capabilities vary by video card specifications. DVI is limited to the RGB color model while HDMI also supports YCbCr 4:4:4 and YCbCr 4:2:2 color spaces, which are generally not used for computer graphics. In some cases, DVI can carry over audio when connected to a physical HDMI adapter. For more information about that, take a look at this article. If you have the option to use HDMI or another port liked Display Port, use those instead, DVI and VGA should only be used as a last resort because the quality isn’t the best. Like other ways of transmitting video, there are two different regions: the active region, where pixel data is sent, and the control region, where synchronization signals are sent. The active region is encoded using transition-minimized differential signaling, where the control region is encoded with a fixed 8b/10b encoding. As the two schemes yield different 10-bit symbols, a receiver can fully differentiate between active and control regions. a b Manchester, Gary (1999).

It has higher number of pins than DVI-A. The digital signals sent out cannot be received by analog monitors. You need a converter for connecting analog display devices. There are two types in DVI-D. They are Single Link DVI-D and Dual Link DVI-D. The pin configuration for both is given below. DVI-D (Single Link) supports a video stream at 1920X1200 @ 60 Hz. DVI-D (Dual Link) supports a video stream at 2560X1600 @ 60 Hz. DVI-I (Digital Video Interface - Integrated): As the name suggests DVI-I supports both analog and digital signals but not both at the same time. The user has to choose the type when both are supported at the other end. DVI-I port can be connected to both VGA monitors and HD monitors. There are two types in DVI-I. They are Single Link DVI-I and Dual Link DVI-I. The pin configuration for both is given below. You can see in pin diagram the DVI-I pins are a combination of both DVI-A and DVI-D. DVI-I (Single Link) supports a video stream at 1920X1200 @ 60 Hz. DVI-I (Dual Link) support a video stream at 2560X1600 @ 60 Hz. To convert DVI to HDMI you’ll need a passive physical adapter. The good news is both DVI-I and DVI-D can be converted to HDMI because they both use digital signals.
