How to Connect: TV + Set-top Box Using DVI-HDTV (Digital Visual Interface)

DVI-D Connector

DVI Cable

(not provided)

Digital Visual Interface is a specification created by the Digital Display Working Group to support analog and digital signals on a single interface. This uncompressed digital video interface is becoming more prevalent and is expected to become widely used for digital display components. The idea behind the connector is that it could eventually replace the 15-pin VGA connector in consumer electronic components.

There are three different DVI formats: DVI-A for analog signals, DVI-D for digital signals, and DVI-I for integrated signals (both analog and digital).

Your TV has a DVI-D format connector and supports some digital signals. The format is used for direct digital connections between source video and provides a higher-quality image than analog. It eliminates the analog conversion process and improves the connection.

You should know:

•A DVI cable has a 15 feet (5 meters) distance limitation.

•Audio information is carried separately; therefore, connect audio left and right cables.
