DVI
HDMI 1.0
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) comes in five variants -- DVI-D (digital only, 19 or 25 pins), DVI-I (digital + analog, 23 or 29 pins), and DVI-A (analog only, 11 pins) -- with single-link supporting up to 1920x1200 @ 60Hz and dual-link up to 2560x1600 @ 60Hz.
HDMI 1.0, released December 9, 2002 by a group of seven consumer electronics companies, was the original single-cable digital audio/video connector. It carried up to 4.95 Gbps over TMDS signaling -- enough for 1080p at 60Hz -- replacing separate analog video and digital audio cables with one connector.
