Note: Complete technical details can be found in the DVI Connector Datasheet linked at the bottom of this page.Īlthough DVI is present in most modern day graphic cards and HD monitors it is gradually being phased out.

The pin configuration for both is given below. They are Single Link DVI-I and Dual Link DVI-I. DVI-I port can be connected to both VGA monitors and HD monitors. The user has to choose the type when both are supported at the other end. 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.DVI-D (Dual Link) supports a video stream at 2560X1600 60 Hz. DVI-D (Single Link) supports a video stream at 1920X1200 60 Hz. They are Single Link DVI-D and Dual Link DVI-D. You need a converter for connecting analog display devices. The digital signals sent out cannot be received by analog monitors. DVI-D (Digital Video Interface - Digital): This port only carries digital signals and hence the name DVI- DIGITAL.DVI-A supports video stream of 1920 X 1200 60Hz. The signals sent by the port are different from VGA and we need a convertor for connecting a VGA monitor to DVI-A port. The port only carries analog signals and hence the name DVI- ANALOG.

DVI-A (Digital Video Interface - Analog): The pin configuration of DVI-A is shown in the picture below.DVI-I(Digital Video Interface - Integrated).DVI-D (Digital Video Interface - Digital).DVI-A (Digital Video Interface - Analog).The DVI connector is used to establish this interface.

The interface is used for connecting display devices to PC or smart unit and it was developed with the intention of creating a standard for transferring digital video content. It is a video display interface developed by Digital Display Working Group (DDWG).
