The DVI connector has all the abilities to provide high-quality pictures while watching your favourite movies provided you connect the appropriate connectors to right display devices. The common ports found in most modern computer graphic cards are DVI compatible as well as compatible for the AV devices such as projectors. Often, manufacturers colour different types of DVI connectors such as DVI-I, DVI-A, and DVI-D. You can get the appropriate DVI cables and connectors from PrimeCables in order to ensure high quality and uninterrupted pictures while watching your favourite movies.
The DVI connectors may have different quantities of numbers pins based on the purpose of signal transmission it is designed for. However, most contemporary AV equipment is designed to use HDMI connectors which ensures both the video as well as audio signals in one cable. On the other hand, if you have a DVI connector instead of a HDMI connector, it should be sending only the video signal instead of both video and audio.
There are three basic types of DVI connectors such as DVI-D for digital signals, DVI-A for analog signals, and DVI-I for both digital and analog signals. You can identify the three types of connectors from the pin configuration of the DVI connectors. These different types of DVI connectors are compatible with different types of ports in your computer. However, it is often confusing to choose the right DVI type of connector for specific DVI ports. Therefore, it is good that you refer to the manual before you buy the DVI cable to ensure which type of connector is compatible with the ports or your device.
You should never buy a digital DVI cable or DVI-D in order to use in your display device which supports only analog signal. Similarly, you should also never buy an analog DVI connector or DVI-A if your display device supports digital signal. However, The DVI-I supports both digital as well as analog signals. You can also find another type of connector called dual-link or DVI-DL which is, in fact, a less common c.
The DVI-DL has a secondary internal connection to deliver data which can be eventually used for high-resolution display. However, you should use the dual-link if your display device has the port to use these types of connectors. The DVI-I, as well as DVI-D, are compatible with HDMI connection. Therefore, you can also get DVI to HDMI cables or converters in the cases of your AV devices require them.
