An attempt by Apple to deal with cable clutter, by combining five separate cables from computer to monitor. Female port (20-pin) Digital Flat Panel (DFP) Used with the PanelLink digital video protocol. Deprecated. Made obsolete by DVI. 3D model of a UDI connector Unified Display Interface: Proposed to replace both DVI and HDMI.
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 Mini DisplayPort (mDP) connector is a 20-pin single-orientation connector with a friction lock. Unlike the full-size connector, it does not have an option for a mechanical latch. The mDP receptacle has dimensions of 7.50 mm (width) × 4.60 mm (height) × 4.99 mm (depth).
Many users have tried a MDP to VGA adapter, connected to a VGA to S-video adapter, only to end up with no usable analog signal... because no such signal comes out of the MDP in the first place. Connectivity to an analog video device requires the MDP to VGA adapter, plus a scan converter box. 163.231.6.86 17:36, 10 July 2009 (UTC)Max
DMS-59 (Dual Monitor Solution, 59 pins) is generally used for computer video cards. It provides two Digital Visual Interface (DVI) or Video Graphics Array (VGA) outputs in a single connector. A Y-style breakout cable is needed for the transition from the DMS-59 output (digital + analogue) to DVI (digital) or VGA (analogue), and different types ...
It defines a new license-free, royalty-free, digital audio/video interconnect, intended to be used primarily between a computer and its display monitor, or a computer and a home-theater system. The video signal is not compatible with DVI or HDMI , but a DisplayPort connector can pass these signals through.
Another criticism of active cables is that manufacturers may patent the electronics inside an active cable or even utilize on-chip cryptography to prevent competitors or consumers from producing their replacement cables, and therefore enable manufacturers to monopolize the market for cables and charge consumers higher prices.
In addition to digital, some DVI connectors also have pins that pass an analog signal, which can be used to connect an analog monitor. The analog pins are the four that surround the flat blade on a DVI-I or DVI-A connector. A VGA monitor, for example, can be connected to a video source with DVI-I through the use of a passive adapter. Since the ...
