Study Notes
Video Connectors
-
VGA (Video Graphics Array):
- A DB-15 (or technically DE-15) connector, often a unique blue color.
- Analog signal, degrades quickly over distance (5-10 meters).
- 15-pin connector, common on older PCs.
- No integrated audio; requires separate audio connection.
- Easily identifiable by its appearance.
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
- Digital interface for video and audio.
- 19-pin connector (type A).
- Supports longer cable lengths (up to 20 meters).
- Proprietary connector, specific to HDMI.
DisplayPort
- Digital standard for sending video and audio signals.
- Two types: Standard and Mini DisplayPort.
- Standard DisplayPort: Features locking mechanisms.
- Mini DisplayPort: More compact version.
- Passively compatible with HDMI; allows seamless connection with HDMI devices.
DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
- Digital video connection (no audio).
- Two connection types: single link and dual link.
- Single link: 3.7 gigabits throughput; supports 60-frames-per-second video. Dual link: 7.4 gigabits throughput; supports 85 frames per second video.
- Supports both analog and digital signaling; sometimes uses integrated (DVI-I) connection.
- DVI-A (analog), DVI-D (digital), and DVI-I (integrated analog/digital).
Connector Summary
- The video card in the example supports HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI (integrated and digital) outputs.
- VGA connectors, DVI connectors, and HDMI cables are example connectors.
- Recognizing connector types allows for accurate identification of video interfaces on PC components.
