DVI-D (Dual Link) Male Monitor DVI Cable and Adapter

DVI, which stands for digital visual interface, is a type of video display interface developed by the Digital Display Working Group. DVI is one of the most common standards for the transmission of digital data due to its high bandwidth capabilities. A DVI connector can have up to 29 total pins.

What is a DVI connector used for?

A DVI digital cable is used to transmit an uncompressed digital video signal from a video source to a display. For example, a DVI cable can be used to connect a computer to a monitor. Most graphics cards and LCD monitors support the DVI format. Much less commonly, a DVI connector is used in television sets and video players. DVI comes in a variety of different formats, each one with different pins and layouts.

There are two common types of DVI: single link and dual link. A single link DVI contains only a single transmitter and supports a resolution up to 1920 by 1200 at 60 Hz. A dual-link DVI includes six additional pins and a second transmitter. This nearly doubles the total amount of bandwidth that can be transmitted through the DVI cable: almost 4 Gb/s for a single link and almost 8 Gb/s for dual link. Therefore, a dual-link DVI can support a resolution of up to 2560 by 1600 pixels at 60 Hz.

What is a DVI-D connection?

A DVI-D connector is only capable of transmitting a digital signal, as opposed to an analog signal. DVI-D is an option for most computers due to its ability to produce high-quality video. Digital video also supports a high maximum resolution. This is especially important for monitors that can support a resolution higher than 1080p.

How many different types of DVI-D cables are available?

DVI-D cables can meet a wide variety of needs and requirements. A DVI-D male to male cable will connect to female DVI-D connections on both ends. A male to female cable can connect to a male connection on one end and a female connection on the other. There are also cables to convert the DVI-D signal into a different format. For example, a DVI-D to HDMI cable can convert DVI-D into the HDMI format. A DVI-D to DisplayPort cable will convert it to DisplayPort.

What does the HDCP protocol on your DVI-D display mean?

HDCP, which stands for high-bandwidth digital content protection, is a type of protocol that transmits an encrypted signal for copy protection. This is designed to prevent digital audio or video from being copied during transmission. If your monitor or TV set requires an HDCP connection, then you must find a device that has HCDP capabilities.
