Glossary:DVI

DVI is a standard for carrying analogue and/or digital video from a source (most commonly a computer) to a display device. It uses a connector which is almost rectangular, but with two corners on the same long edge slightly rounded. The connectors can accommodate 3 rows of 8 pins plus an extra 4 in a separate group for analogue video, but the number actually present varies according to the type and number of video channels supported.
