VGA, DVI, S-Video and other video connectors pinouts diagrams @ pinoutguide.com (original) (raw)
30 pin PDMI PDMI (Portable Digital Media Interface) is an interconnection standard for portable media players. Rarely used.
Digital Flat Panel (DFP) Used on digital flat panel monitors. Standard by DFP Group. Protocol: PanelLink
DisplayPort DisplayPort is a digital display interface.
DMS-59 DMS-59 is a 59-pin electrical connector generally used for computer video cards. It provides two DVI/VGA outputs on a single connector.
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) The Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is a video interface standard designed to maximize the visual quality of digital display devices such as flat panel LCD computer displays and digital projectors.
DVI-I to VGA passive adapter wiring scheme Most computer graphics cards nowadays does not have a Video Graphics Array connector. Some of them outputs the RGBHV (used in VGA) through their Digital Video Interface. If a graphics card has a DVI-I connector, but no VGA connector, it is likely to output VGA through DVI-I. Here we will show you how you can wire a DVI-I to VGA passive adapter. PLEASE NOTE: This scheme only works for DVI-I connectors. DVI-I carries both digital and analog RGB. DVI-D does not carry any analog RGB signal at all, so it is not possible to convert it to VGA without using an active adapter.
HDMI The High-Definition Multi-media is an industry-supported digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between any compatible digital audio/video source and a compatible digital audio and/or video monitor.
Mini DisplayPort The Mini DisplayPort (MiniDP or mDP) is a miniaturized version of the DisplayPort audio-visual digital interface. Mini DisplayPort is capable of driving display devices with resolutions up to 2560x1600. Mostly used in new Apple computers: MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, Mac mini, Mac Pro, and Xserve, but also fits to some PC notebooks.
Mini-DVI connector is used on Apple computers as a digital alternative to the Mini-VGA connector.
Mini-VGA connector The Mini-VGA connector is used on laptops and other systems in place of the standard VGA connector. Apart from its compact form, mini-VGA ports have the added ability to output both composite and S-Video in addition to VGA signals through the use of EDID.
NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT 7-Pin TV-Out Connector ( s-video ) The NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT GPU-based graphics card installed in your computer contains a 7-pin HDTV-Out connector as shown below. The connector has all the S-Video signals but no video capture signals and has support for component-out and composite-out via a dongle. The table below lists the connector pinout.
Plug and Display Analog/Digital (P&D-A/D, M1-DA) Defined by Video Electronic Standards Association (VESA) in the Plug and Display (P&D) standard. Also known as M1-DA (used in some Infocus and ASK multimedia projectors).
Plug and Display Digital (P&D-D) Defined by Video Electronic Standards Association (VESA) in the Plug and Display (P&D) standard
VGA Many PC graphics cards use the same 15 pin VGA connector that the original IBM VGA card used. VGA=Video Graphics adapter or Video Graphics Array.
VGA (VESA DDC) VGA=Video Graphics adapter or Video Graphics Array. VESA=Video Electronics Standards Association. DDC=Display Data Channel.
Apple Pinouts
Apple 14 pin video All Apple-manufactured Macintosh monitors except the 21-inch Color Display and Two-Page Monochrome monitor are supported.
Apple AudioVision The Power Macintosh computers provide connection to AudioVision monitors (and other monitors when used with an adapter cable) by means of an AudioVision HDI-45 monitor socket on their back panels.
Apple Digital video Application (DVA) DVA is somewhat similar to the Digital Audio/Video connector. Available on Apple Macintosh LC 630 / Quadra 630
Apple Display Connector (ADC, Apple Digital) video The Apple Display Connector (ADC) is a proprietary modification of the DVI connector that combines analog and digital video signals, USB, and power all in one cable. Apple used ADC for their flat panel LCDs and their final CRT display, before deciding to use Digital Video Input (DVI).
Apple video/composite out The iMac G5 detects the type of display adapter that is plugged in and programs the graphics IC to route the appropriate video signals to the connector. The signal assignments on the video connector when the composite adapter is attached are shown
Leadtek TV-OUT (6 pin) Pinout of the PS/2 connector used on some Leadtek and VisionTek GeForce2 Ti cards as tvout connectors. Just hook up an rca to the composite pins and you have yourself a cable.
nVidia GeForce 7900 GT HDTV/component connector 7 pin video out to three female RCA plugs (red, green, blue). These outputs are for YpbPr (YCbCr), or component, inputs to a TV. Connector can also be used with a standard s-video connector - the 7 pin mini-DIN has the same plastic key feature as the standard 4 pin mini-DIN s-video connector.
