Digital Video Interface (DVI)

DVI-D is an uncompressed, all-digital video interface.

DVI provides an interface between any video source, such as a digibox or cable TV box, DVD player, and A/V receiver and a video monitor, such as a plasma or projector. DVI displays should be "HDCP compliant" (High bandwidth Digital Content Protection) or they may not work with your equipment.

DVI-D supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video. It transmits HDTV standards. Pictures are clearer with sharper detail and better colour reproduction than analogue alternatives such as S-video, RGB or component video.

DVI-I is an integrated version of DVI combining Digital and Analogue (RGBHV) transmission.

DVI-D devices can be connected to HDMI devices with the use of an adaptor.
