DVI Cables & Adapters


What is DVI?

DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a video display interface commonly used to connect computers to monitors or projectors. It was developed to provide high-quality digital video signals, offering better picture clarity compared to analog connections like VGA. DVI comes in different formats, including DVI-D (digital only), DVI-A (analog only), and DVI-I (which supports both digital and analog signals). While DVI can handle high-definition video, it does not typically carry audio signals, unlike HDMI. Despite being gradually replaced by newer technologies like HDMI and DisplayPort, DVI is still popular in many professional and gaming environments due to its reliable performance and high-resolution support.

What is DVI?

DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a video display interface used to connect a computer or other video source to a monitor or projector. It transmits digital or analog video signals, depending on the type of DVI connection, providing high-quality video output.

Does DVI carry audio signals?

No, DVI does not transmit audio signals. If you need audio, you’ll need a separate audio cable, or you may want to consider using HDMI, which supports both video and audio in a single connection.

There are three main types of DVI connectors:

  • DVI-D (Digital): Transmits only digital video signals.
  • DVI-A (Analog): Transmits only analog video signals.
  • DVI-I (Integrated): Supports both digital and analog video signals.
