Cable DVI

"Looking for details on DVI Cable?"






Do you wish to know more about Cable DVI? It's full definition is Cable Digital Video Interface.

It is a new form of video interface technology nowadays that made to maximize the quality of flat panel LCD monitors and high-end video graphics cards.

FYI, DVI is a replacement for the P&D Plug & Display standard, and a step up from the digital-only DFP format for older flat panels. It is becoming more and more popular with video card manufacturers, and most cards purchased include both a VGA and a DVI output port.

It is also coming out as the digital transfer method of choice for HDTV, EDTV, Plasma Display, and other ultra-high-end video displays for TV, movies, and DVDs.

Even some of the top-end DVD players are now featuring DVI outputs in addition to the high-quality analog Component Video.

Don't just simply throw away all your old video cables for now, just be patience and keep an eye out for DVI availability in the future :)

The official Cable DVI specification deems that all DVI equipment must maintain a signal at 5 meters (16 feet) in length.

There are many manufacturers are putting out much stronger cards and bigger monitors, so the maximum length requirement is not ever specified.

In-house tests on varying equipment have produced strong signals up to 9 and 10 meters long. Tests at 12 meters resulted in signal loss and an unusuable image on the display.

Please keep in mind that when using DVI-I cables at extensive lengths, you may not be seeing a digitally-clear image on your screen.

Because analog has a much longer run, your display may auto-switch once the digital signal is too weak. For this reason, long runs are best done with DVI-A or VGA, but if you really want to make sure you're getting the best(digital)image, use only the DVI-D cables.
