Amazon Basics DVI to DVI Cable, 2 m /6.5 Feet, Black

Product Information

IEEE 1394 was proposed by High-Definition Audio-Video Network Alliance ( HANA Alliance) for all cabling needs, including video, over coax or 1394 cable as a combined data stream. With DVI’s ability to mix analogue and digital, consumers and businesses could upgrade hardware at their own pace, item by item. For backward compatibility with displays using analog VGA signals, some of the contacts in the DVI connector carry the analog VGA signals.

DVI does not use packetization, but rather transmits the pixel data as if it were a rasterized analog video signal. Single link DVI employs a single transmitter with a TMDS clock up to 165MHz that supports resolutions up to 1920×1200 at 60Hz. For a video card or power supply, the fans are usually integrated into the hardware and not easily replaced, if they can be replaced at all.If you have a home theater receiver in your setup, you also have the option of connecting the DVI video output of your source device to an HDMI-equipped TV using a DVI-to-HDMI adapter. At the electrical level, these pairs are highly resistant to electrical noise and other forms of analog distortion. To know if a DVI cable is analog, single-link, or dual-link, you can look at the pin sets at one end.

For greater distances, the use of a DVI booster—a signal repeater which may use an external power supply—is recommended to help mitigate signal degradation.Now that you have read this article, you have an idea of what cable or connector you should purchase for your devices. The difference in picture quality between DVI and VGA may not be substantial in text or standard definition video but it’s more obvious in HD videos and hi-resolution displays. Dual-link connections double the number of RGB TMDS pairs – excluding the clock pair – through parallel connections, thus enabling 2Gbps of bandwidth.
