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).
It can also carry audio, USB, and other forms of data. DisplayPort is backward compatible with other interfaces such as HDMI and DVI through the use of active or passive adapters. Male Mini DisplayPort plug Mini DisplayPort: Proposed alternative to HDMI, used with computer displays: (VGA, DVI) Apple Inc.'s successor to their own Mini-DVI.
DSC can work in constant or variable bitrate mode. The minimum allowed bits-per-pixel (BPP) is 6 bit/px; [7]: 52 the typical BPP given on VESA's website is 8 bit/px. [8] The variable-bitrate is actually a way to temporarily disable the display link; [7]: 125 it only adds the possibility of choosing 0 bit/px. [7]: 41
Additionally, it supports the connection of multiple displays to a single computer. DisplayLink serves various customers, including notebook OEMs, LCD monitor manufacturers, and PC accessory vendors. Its technology is compatible with operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, macOS, Android, ChromeOS, and Linux. [1]
[18] [19] They also stated: "Legacy interfaces such as VGA, DVI and LVDS have not kept pace, and newer standards such as DisplayPort and HDMI clearly provide the best connectivity options moving forward. In our opinion, DisplayPort 1.2 is the future interface for PC monitors, along with HDMI 1.4a for TV connectivity".
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.
Currently, DisplayPort is the most widely implemented alternate mode, and is used to provide video output on devices that do not have standard-size DisplayPort or HDMI ports, such as smartphones and laptops. All Chromebooks with a USB-C port are required to support DisplayPort alternate mode in Google's hardware requirements for manufacturers. [81]
Thunderbolt is the brand name of a hardware interface for the connection of external peripherals to a computer.It was developed by Intel in collaboration with Apple. [7] [8] It was initially marketed under the name Light Peak, and first sold as part of an end-user product on 24 February 2011.
