*Digital Video Interface
*mostly used by computers and computer monitors and some recent projectors, rarely used by TVs
*same digital video signal used by [[A/V_Glossary#HDMI|HDMI]] and [[A/V_Glossary#DisplayPort|DisplayPort]], can be adapted to/from either one with a dongle
*multiple versions of connector with up to 29 pins: main group consisting of 3 rows of 8 pins, plus a single wide, flat pin surround by 4 pins for analog signals
**'''DVI-D''' - supports digital video only
***'''Single-Link DVI-D''' is missing the four analog pins and 4th and 5th columns of the main group
***'''Dual-Link DVI-D''' uses all but the four analog pins
**'''DVI-I''' - supports both digital and analog video, can be adapted to [[A/V_Glossary#VGA|VGA]] with a simple dongle, usually the output port on a computer is this type
***'''Single-Link DVI-I''' has all pins but the 4th and 5th columns of the main group
***'''Dual-Link DVI-I''' has the full set of pins and can be used for any mode
**'''DVI-A''' - supports analog video only, usually only found on VGA-to-DVI adapters
**'''Mini-DVI''' used by some Apple laptops
**'''Micro-DVI''' pretty much never used, except by some Apple MacBook Air laptops
 
*all versions support [[A/V_Glossary#Progressive_Scan|progressive scan]] video and [[A/V_Glossary#High Definition|HD]] resolutions:
**max resolution of Single-Link at 60Hz is 1920x1200p60
**max resolution of Dual-Link at 60Hz is 2560x1600p60
**see [[A/V_Glossary#Display_Formats|Display Formats]] for more info
