5.2.2 Digital Video Interface (DVI)
The Processor Digital Ports can be configured to drive DVI-D. DVI uses TMDS for transmitting data
from the transmitter to the receiver which is similar to the HDMI protocol but without the audio
and CEC. Refer to the HDMI section for more information on the signals and data transmission.
To drive DVI-I through the back panel the VGA DDC signals is connected along with the digital data
and clock signals from one of the Digital Ports. The digital display data signals driven natively are
AC coupled and needs level shifting to convert the AC coupled signals to the HDMI compliant
digital signals.
5.2.3 Display Port Interface (DP)
DisplayPort is a digital communication interface that utilizes differential signaling to achieve a high
bandwidth bus interface designed to support connections between PCs and monitors, projectors,
and TV displays. DisplayPort is also suitable for display connections between consumer electronics
devices such as high definition optical disc players, set top boxes, and TV displays.
A DisplayPort consists of a Main Link, Auxiliary channel, and a Hot Plug Detect signal. The Main
Link is a unidirectional, high-bandwidth, and low latency channel used for transport of
