connector on a computer</figcaption></figure> <p>The DVI connector on a device is given one of three names, depending on which signals it implements: </p> <ul><li><i>DVI-I</i> (integrated, combines digital and analog in the same connector; digital may be single or dual link)</li> <li><i>DVI-D</i> (digital only, single link or dual link)</li> <li><i>DVI-A</i> (analog only)</li></ul> <p>Most DVI connector types—the exception is DVI-A—have pins that pass digital video signals. These come in two varieties: single link and dual link. Single link DVI employs a single transmitter with a TMDS clock up to 165 MHz that supports resolutions up to 1920 × 1200 at 60 Hz. Dual link DVI adds six pins, at the center of the connector, for a second transmitter increasing the bandwidth and supporting resolutions up to 2560 × 1600 at 60 Hz.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A connector with these additional pins is sometimes referred to as DVI-DL (dual link). Dual link should not be confused with <i><a href="/wiki/Multi-monitor" title="Multi-monitor">dual display</a></i> (also known as <i>dual head</i>), which is a configuration consisting of a single computer connected to two monitors, sometimes using a <a href="/wiki/DMS-59" title="DMS-59">DMS-59</a> connector for two single link DVI connections. </p><p>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 <a href="/wiki/Video_Graphics_Array" title="Video Graphics Array">VGA</a> monitor, for example, can be connected to a video source with DVI-I through the use of a passive adapter. Since the analog pins are directly compatible with VGA signaling, passive adapters are simple and cheap to produce, providing a cost-effective solution to support VGA on DVI. The long flat pin on a DVI-I connector is wider than the same pin on a DVI-D connector, so even if the four analog pins were manually removed, it still wouldn't be possible to connect a male DVI-I to a female DVI-D. It is possible, however, to join a male DVI-D connector with a female DVI-I connector.<sup id="cite_ref-A+_Study_Guide_book_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-A+_Study_Guide_book-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>DVI is the only widespread video standard that includes analog and digital transmission in the same connector.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Competing standards are exclusively digital: these include a system using low-voltage differential signaling (<a href="/wiki/Low_voltage_differential_signaling" class="mw-redirect" title="Low voltage differential signaling">LVDS</a>), known by its proprietary names <a href="/wiki/FPD-Link" title="FPD-Link">FPD-Link</a> (flat-panel display) and FLATLINK; and its successors, the <a href="/w/index.php?title=LVDS_Display_Interface&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="LVDS Display Interface (page does not exist)">LVDS Display Interface</a> (LDI) and <a href="/wiki/OpenLDI" title="OpenLDI">OpenLDI</a>. </p><p>Some <a href="/wiki/DVD_player" title="DVD player">DVD players</a>, <a href="/wiki/High-definition_television" title="High-definition television">HDTV</a> sets, and <a href="/wiki/Video_projector" title="Video projector">video projectors</a> have DVI connectors that transmit an encrypted signal for copy protection using the <a href="/wiki/High-bandwidth_Digital_Content_Protection" title="High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection">High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection</a> (HDCP) protocol.

title="DC-balanced">DC-balanced</a> output that reduces decoding errors. This goal is achieved by using 10-bit symbols for 8-bit or less characters and using the extra bits for the DC balancing. </p><p>Like other ways of transmitting video, there are two different regions: the active region, where pixel data is sent, and the control region, where synchronization signals are sent. The active region is encoded using <a href="/wiki/Transition-minimized_differential_signaling" title="Transition-minimized differential signaling">transition-minimized differential signaling</a>, where the control region is encoded with a fixed <a href="/wiki/8b/10b_encoding" title="8b/10b encoding">8b/10b encoding</a>. As the two schemes yield different 10-bit symbols, a receiver can fully differentiate between active and control regions. </p><p>When DVI was designed, most computer monitors were still of the <a href="/wiki/Cathode-ray_tube" title="Cathode-ray tube">cathode-ray tube</a> type that require analog video synchronization signals. The timing of the digital synchronization signals matches the equivalent analog ones, so the process of transforming DVI to and from an analog signal does not require extra (high-speed) memory, expensive at the time. </p><p><a href="/wiki/High-bandwidth_Digital_Content_Protection" title="High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection">HDCP</a> is an extra layer that transforms the 10-bit symbols before transmitting. Only after correct authorization can the receiver undo the HDCP encryption. Control regions are not encrypted in order to let the receiver know when the active region starts. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Clock_and_data_relationship">Clock and data relationship</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Digital_Visual_Interface&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Clock and data relationship"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>DVI provide one TMDS clock pair and 3 TMDS data pairs in single link mode or 6 TMDS data pairs in dual link mode. TMDS data pairs operate at a <a href="/wiki/Gross_bit_rate" class="mw-redirect" title="Gross bit rate">gross bit rate</a> that is 10 times the frequency of the TMDS clock. In each TMDS clock period there is a 10-bit symbol per TMDS data pair representing 8-bits of pixel color. In single link mode each set of three 10-bit symbols represents one 24-bit pixel, while in dual link mode each set of six 10-bit symbols either represents two 24-bit pixels or one pixel of up to 48-bit <a href="/wiki/Color_depth" title="Color depth">color depth</a>. </p><p>The specification document allows the data and the clock to not be aligned. However, as the ratio between the TMDS clock and gross bit rate per TMDS pair is fixed at 1:10, the unknown alignment is kept over time. The receiver must recover the bits on the stream using any of the techniques of <a href="/wiki/Clock_recovery" title="Clock recovery">clock/data recovery</a> to find the correct symbol boundary. The DVI specification allows the TMDS clock to vary between 25 MHz and 165 MHz. This 1:6.6 ratio can make clock recovery difficult, as <a href="/wiki/Phase-locked_loop" title="Phase-locked loop">phase-locked loops</a>, if used, need to work over a large frequency range. One benefit of DVI over other interfaces is that it is relatively straightforward to transform the signal from the digital domain into the analog domain using a video <a href="/wiki/Digital-to-analog_converter" title="Digital-to-analog converter">DAC</a>, as both clock and synchronization signals are transmitted. Fixed frequency interfaces, like <a href="/wiki/DisplayPort" title="DisplayPort">DisplayPort</a>, need to reconstruct the clock from the transmitted data. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Display_power_management">Display power management</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Digital_Visual_Interface&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Display power management"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The DVI specification includes signaling for reducing power consumption.
