DVI: Digital Visual Interface

Digital Visual Interface (DVI), based on the standard created by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG), is a video connector designed to maximize the visual quality of digital display devices such as flat panel LCD computer displays and digital projectors. DVI converts analog signals into digital signals to accommodate both analog and digital monitors. DVI handles bandwidths in excess of 160 MHz and thus supports UXGA and HDTV with a single set of links.
