DisplayPort
DisplayPort* Next generation digital interface
Background: –
The newly-developed DisplayPort interface standard, approved by the member companies of the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA), is designed to unify the desktop and notebook PC markets to a common high-bandwidth display interface.
–
DisplayPort allows high-definition digital audio to be available to the display device over the same cable as the digital video signal. It delivers true plug-and-play with robust interoperability, and is cost competitive with existing digital display interconnects. Designed to be available throughout the industry as an open, extensible standard, DisplayPort is expected to accelerate the adoption in PCs of digital outputs enabling higher levels of display performance. When the optional content protection capability is active, DisplayPort will support viewing high definition television, video and other types of protected content.

The Main Link bandwidth of up to 10.8Gbit/s, equivalent to a data transfer rate of 1080 Mbytes/second, uses four lanes; the auxiliary channel features minimal delay, with maximum transaction periods less than 500 microseconds.

DisplayPort* Next generation digital interface
Applications: –
The DisplayPort interface is designed to be used for all types of digital display connections, including internal connections in a notebook, monitor, or TV. This capability makes it possible to avoid the costly signal translation from one display format to another that is required with today's display interfaces. PC’s (Video cards), notebooks, projectors, monitors, HDTV’s and consoles, home entertainment systems.
