DisplayPort connector A DisplayPort port (top right) on a laptop from 2010, near an Ethernet port (center) and a USB port (bottom right). DisplayPort (DP) is a proprietary [a] digital display interface developed by a consortium of PC and chip manufacturers and standardized by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA).
Often now replaced by Mini DisplayPort. Female Micro-DVI port (rightmost) on MacBook Air: Micro-DVI: DVI-D dual link Replaced with Mini DisplayPort. DMS-59: twin DVI (for two monitors via an adapter cable) Apple Display Connector: Combines DVI, USB, and power. HDMI connector plugs (male): Type D (Micro), Type C (Mini), and Type A.
DockPort (originally codenamed Lightning Bolt [1]) is a backward-compatible extension of DisplayPort, adding USB 3.0 and DC power, in addition to DisplayPort's video and audio signalling. Standardised by VESA , it is the first royalty-free industry standard to combine these four interface functions in one connector.
Encryption of the data sent over DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, GVIF, or UDI interfaces prevents eavesdropping of information and man-in-the-middle attacks. Key revocation prevents devices that have been compromised and cloned from receiving data. Each HDCP-capable device has a unique set of 40 56-bit keys.
Mini DisplayPort connector. The Mini DisplayPort (MiniDP or mDP) is a miniaturized version of the DisplayPort audio-visual digital interface. It was announced by Apple in October 2008, and by early 2013 all new Apple Macintosh computers had Mini DisplayPort, [2] as did the LED Cinema Display.
The DisplayPort website states that DisplayPort is expected to complement HDMI, [201] but as of 2016 100% of HD and UHD TVs had HDMI connectivity. [202] DisplayPort supported some advanced features which are useful for multimedia content creators and gamers (e.g., 5K, Adaptive-Sync), which was the reason most GPUs have DisplayPort.
A monitor is typically connected to its host computer via DisplayPort, HDMI, USB-C, DVI, or VGA. Monitors sometimes use other proprietary connectors and signals to connect to a computer, which is less common. Originally computer monitors were used for data processing while television sets were used for video.
It is used for all USB protocols and for Thunderbolt (3 and later), DisplayPort (1.2 and later), and others. Developed at roughly the same time as the USB 3.1 specification, but distinct from it, the USB-C Specification 1.0 was finalized in August 2014 [ 25 ] and defines a new small reversible-plug connector for USB devices.
