  • DVI is the digital video interface computer standard developed by Silicon Image. It offers a simple Plug-and-Play method to connect your laptop computer to your projector.
  • This all-digital connection automatically optimizes your computer to work with your projector. You don't have to make pixel-lock adjustments to your projector, or resolution or color changes to your computer. DVI handles it all.
  • DVI also allows you to use advanced features in Microsoft Power Point, so you can use notes on your laytop's display while using the DVI port for your audience.
  • DVI comes in many different "flavors":
DVI-D DRAWING DVI-D is a digital ONLY connector. This is the leading connector standard for digital only connection.
